scopecontent: label: Scope and Contents note
content: This subseries houses ledgers divided into various accounts for Jacques Seligmann & Co., Inc., Jacques Seligmann & Fils (Paris company), sales account, loan account, Germain Seligman account, Modern Paintings, Inc., account, suspense account, cash account, commission account, J. P. Morgan account, Fifth Avenue Bank, New York, account, tax account, and additional special client accounts. Of special interest in each ledger is the works of art account, which provides lists of works bought or sold. The accounts documented in the ledgers vary somewhat from year to year. Most of the ledgers have an alphabetized index of the accounts. The last two ledgers from the early to mid-1970s are somewhat different in composition, including not only various account transactions but also more routine accounting data, such as taxes, accounts payable and receivable, salaries, etc. Note that there are no general ledgers for 1942-1943, 1953-1969, or 1972-1973.
