Scope and content
This file contains information related to a collection of Northwest Coast art owned by Roy C. Cole, which he intended to sell. As indicated by Wilson Duff's letter to Peter Downes, Duff travelled to Hamilton, Ontario on Downes' behalf to evaluate the collection. Duff provides an idiosyncratic system for evaluating the collection and indicates what his markings mean in terms of the anthropological and artistic merit of each object. In addition to the letter, the file includes a draft version and two copies of the inventory - one with handwritten notes. Additional materials include two pages of notes with travel information and a sketch.
