In 1867 it ceased to do any business.
In his " Archeologie Typograph- ique, " Bernard told of the desolation of the house as he saw it in 1850. Everything was in decay. That the types and matrices would soon go to the melting-kettle; that books and prints, furniture and pictures, would find their way, bit by bit, to bric-a- brac shops ; that this old glory of Antwerp would soon be a story of the past seemed inevitable. Fortu- nately there were in Antwerp men who tried to save the collection. Me...ssrs. Emanuel Rosseels and Max Rooses (now conservateur of the Museum), under the zealous direction of M. Leopold de Wael, the burgomaster of the city, induced the city and the state to buy the property, the transfer of which was formally made, as we read from a tablet in the wall, in 1875.
The Museum, as it now stands, is not as Plantin left it. His successors, Balthazar I. Especially, made many changes, additions, and restorations, but all have been done with propriety. The visitor is not shocked by incon- gruities of structure or decoration.
