Donald Earl Willmott's Blue Brocade Album

Title: Donald Earl Willmott's Blue Brocade Album
Alternative Title: DEW blue brocade album
Identifier: WFC_ALBUM_01
Description: Photograph album with jacket made of blue silk brocade with gold thread and motif of auspicious signs. The pages of the interior are blue paper with photographs attached with black corner brackets. Some of the photographs have captions written in blue ink.

The album is in very poor condition. The cover is fraying and coming apart at the seams. The pages have become detached and are out of order. The paper is fragile and breaks at the touch. Another almost identical album was in the possession of Richard Curtis Willmott.

Physical Dimensions: 8" h x 15" w

Provenance: In Donald Willmott's possession from his parents' death in 1986 until given to Cory Willmott in about 2015. Will be donated to the Willmott collection at the Mount Royal Archives after scanning is completed.
