Fonds
1878-1921

The fonds consists predominantly of typescripts of correspondence from William Brymner to his family, in particular his mother and father, during his travels to Paris, France, England and various other European locations. Many of the typescripts are annotated in what appears to be Brymner's hand. Of special interest are six manuscripts for public lectures or articles written by Brymner, espousing his views and thoughts on a number of topics including drawing, Impressionism, and the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. Also included are various other documents and items such as: Brymner's Order of St. Michael and St. George, various exhibition catalogues for the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, a diploma for Douglas Brymner from Queen's University, and an accompanying framed letter from Sir Sanford Fleming congratulating Douglas Brymner upon the conferring of said degree.
