"(q.v.)"
It might be good to remove the q.v. notation and replace it with the Wiki notation of double square brackets around the names of others you believe to be notable. I think that notation, in printed works, is designed to alert the reader that there is an entry for another individual; we have links available to us here.--AndrewHowse 19:18, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Emperor of Hungary?
In the "Albertina Affair" section the title "Emperor of Hungary" is mentioned, as in linked source: http://www.dictionaryofarthistorians.org/rossiterh.htm

This title never existed officially! Hungary had kings, and the last Hungarian kings were the Habsburgs, who were also Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire, and later Emperors of Austria, but Hungary never was an empire, just a kingdom.

I haven't found any other source, so it leaves me confused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.134.201.175 (talk) 18:22, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

In 1936, Sachs participated in the "Albertina Affair." Archduke Albrecht, Duke of Teschen, in a bid to gain the title of Emperor of Hungary, attempted a secret negotiation with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to sell his large print and drawing collection, widely considered one of the greatest one in the world. Sachs and curator Agnes Mongan traveled secretly to Vienna with the MFA curator Henry Rossiter to authenticate hundreds of drawings. Once the Austrian government learned of the events, the deal was called off; the collection was seized and nationalized by the government. The collection is now part of the Albertina in Vienna.
