The Greywoods museum holds the clock and evening dress; does anyone know who holds the DeWeldon bust?
I am researching the DeWeldon history and woujd be interested in knowing its whereabouts.
Thank you.
Hi Victor, Grey Roots Museum also holds the bust in its collection. Sim Salata Collections Manager Grey Roots Museum & Archives
This dress was worn by Agnes C. Macphail (of Grey County) when she was presented to Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, when they were guests at Ottawa in October, 1951. Princess Elizabeth later became Queen Elizabeth II. It is not known where Macphail purchased the dress. The dress was donated in 1960 to the Grey Roots Museum & Archives. In the photograph, Macphail is seated by a fireplace, wearing the dress, as well as her maple leaf shaped brooch, holding a pair of evening gloves. Holton was a Toronto photographer, but the image was likely taken in Ottawa, as two items that belonged to Miss Macphail are on the mantelpiece, suggesting that the image was taken at her residence in 1951.
Grey Roots Museum & Archives has the plaster bust and it is on display here. 5103763690
