Sold 1893 to Paul Bureau [1874-1915], Paris; (his estate sale, Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, 20 May 1927, no. 124); purchased at that sale by "Uhde" [possibly Wilhelm Uhde, d. 1947].[1] (Galerie Thannhauser, Lucerne);[2] Paul and Mildred H. Lamb, Cleveland Heights and later Shaker Heights, Ohio, by 1933;[3] (her sale, Parke-Bernet Galleries, Inc., New York, 11-12 December 1941, no. 52);[3] purchased by (Jean Goriany, New York) for Lessing Julius Rosenwald, Jenkintown, Pennsylvania;[4] gift 1943 to NGA. [1] Identified as the buyer of _Emigrants_ in an annotated copy of the catalogue: _Collection Paul Bureau. Première Vente_, 20 May 1927, 91, no. 124, repro. (in NGA library), and in a report on the sale in _La Gazette de l'hôtel Drouot_ (36e année, no. 59, 21 May 1927). Wilhelm Uhde (1874-1947) was a German-born collector, dealer, critic, and historian who resided in Paris for most of his career and wrote extensively on late nineteenth-century French painting. Contrary to Maurice Gobin, _Daumier Sculpteur. 1808-1879_, Geneva, 1952: 309, who claims Bureau owned cast no. 1, Bureau's auction catalogue specifies no. 2. Furthermore, the Bureau family tradition holds that the Rosenwald cast belonged to their family (unsigned handwritten memorandum to the file, in the hand of Douglas Lewis, documenting a visit on 9 August 1978, of Jean-Marie Brouard of Paris, whose maternal grandfather was allegedly Paul Bureau; in NGA curatorial files).
