Dates
- 1940–1941
Scope and Contents
In 1940, Netter brokered the sale of a Charles Willson Peale self portrait that shows him holding a mastodon bone. It was purchased by the New-York Historical Society. This folder documents that transaction, handled at the time by Donald A. Shelley, then curator of paintings at the society. Netter also corresponded about the painting with Clarence S. Brigham of the American Antiquarian Society, William Sawitzsky for an evaluation of the work, the Toledo Art Museum, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
