Series 1: Correspondence, 1895-1996
22.6 Linear feet
Boxes 1-23, 28

Correspondence contains incoming and outgoing business correspondence with artists, clients, galleries and museums, regarding consignments, sales, purchases, and exhibitions. The bulk of the correspondence dates from the 1920s-1930s and the 1970s, and was originally grouped by date ranges spanning a few years. Considerable correspondence with portrait artist Alfred Jonniaux and with clients regarding commissioned portraits dates from the 1950s to mid-1960s. Scattered exhibition catalogs, price lists and printed materials are also found throughout the series.
Folders are arranged alphabetically by name, geographical location, or subject; then chronologically. Generally, dates of "1947" and those from the 1980s-1990s indicate the inclusion of a handwritten note presumably by Robert C. Vose, Jr. regarding the date in which the file's contents were reviewed.
