He was known for establishing the Cranmore Ethnographical Museum, which grew to hold more than 6,000 important ethnographic objects during its time. After his death in 1939, his collection was moved to the British Museum right as the war began, during which the Cranmore Museum was destroyed by bombing. After the war, substantial portions of the Beasley Collection were passed onto the British Museum, the Royal Museum in Edinburgh, Cambridge University Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, and the Liverpool Museums. The current lots were acquired from H.G. Beasley’s widow, who passed away in 1974.哈利·杰弗瑞·比斯利(1881-1939)为一名英国人类学家与策展人。其工作的坎摩尔民族志博物馆拥有近6，000件藏品。在比斯利1939年过世之后，第二次世界大战期间，其藏品被储藏于大英博物馆中，从而免遭战争的破坏。而坎摩尔民族志博物馆则不幸在轰炸中毁于一旦。战后，比斯利珍藏中的部分藏品被保留在大英博物馆，爱丁堡皇家博物馆，剑桥考古与人类学博物馆，牛精皮特河博物馆，与利物浦博物馆中。沃丁顿此次拍卖中的藏品均由现任收藏者直接购于比斯利先生的遗孀，后者于1974年离世。Estimate: $3,000—5,000
