scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents note
content: This subseries contains business and scattered personal correspondence of Clyfford Trevor, a modest collector and employee of the firm's New York office. Germain Seligman credited Trevor as a valued associate who helped foster the firm's interest in modern European art. Trevor's family established an art gallery, J. Trevor & Sons, in London in 1896, where Trevor worked before joining the firm of Scott & Fowles. He began his employment in the New York office of Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., in 1924, where he stayed until returning to London in 1948 to work as an independent arts consultant. The majority of the correspondence documents Trevor's business trips to U.S. cities cultivating collectors and museums. Letters detail names of contacts made, recommendations on how to proceed with clients, and other pertinent business matters. Letters written in later years include some of Germain's handwritten notations on commissions for Trevor.
