| Description: | A letter dated September 17, 1929 to Bertram Brooker from Eric Brown, on behalf of the National Gallery of Canada. The letter addresses Brooker's efforts as editor of the Yearbook of the Arts in Canada. Brown objects to the Yearbook's focus on only current art, without taking into account the National Gallery's broader efforts to assemble a comprehensive historical collection. Brown contends that assembling a collection should also be considered a creative effort, and thus more of the National Gallery's activities should be included in the Yearbook. |
