(69 boxes) |
| Series III contains the newspaper articles that were selected and assembled by the firm
of Duveen Brothers for presentation in large scrapbooks. The scrapbooks document
advertising campaigns orchestrated by the firm and they provide comprehensive coverage
on Joseph Duveen, the firm's major acquisitions and exhibitions, art collectors and
dealers, the art world in general, and the trials the firm was involved in, including
Hahn v. Duveen. The court proceedings were filed with the press documentation and have
been left in situ in Series III.

| Arrangement |
| Series III is arranged roughly by topic and by chronological order for each topic. |
