Sometimes, it is pointed out. the nov
elty ol the trick employed works its
own defeat, as in the ease of a l-'lorell
lint' dealer who sold a I'are old pallet
lug to n l''rein h collector. ' lie ottered
to send It to the buyer's hotel and
asked him to write his name and ad
dress on the back ot the panel In order
to remove all doubt. Tills was done
nut then the collector changed ids
mind mid carried the picture off de
spite the dealer's protestations.
When the traveler got houie ho took
the picture out or Its frame-to clean It
iie found that lie had brought away
two pictures.. The first, which he had
nought, concealed a copy, on the back
ot which he had signed Ills name
This was almost perfect rascality.
If the collector tiad had the picture
sent to his note! he would have re
ceived the copy. It he had protested
that it was not the picture he nought
he wou'd? have been shown his own
signature on the hack of the panel.
'I lie Italian government prohibit* the
exportation ol native art works except
by permission that is very hard to get.
Hut the collectors and the owners of
old family pictures Hud no ditticuity In
evading this They order copies, put
them in place of the originals and se
cretly send the latter out of the coun
