Munsing writes in the catalogue:
"...much research has been made in this century, attracting world wide attention to these great civilizations of yesterday which were independent of any European or Oriental influences; peoples speaking different languages - peoples having their own customs, religion and laws, and a culture which in its first works equals the masterpieces of other civilizations."
