Show detail Hide detail

Series is comprised of company generated artwork, including traditional corporate art such an insurance company's concept drawing of a Magog Mill facility, a portrait of the first President of Dominion Textile Co., annual report illustration designs, advertisement design in the form of posters, a caricature series dealing with office behaviour, a parody board game, and an annotated reproduction of a map of world holdings.

Notable is a rare oil portrait of David Yuile, First President of Dominion Textile Co. in 1905 by an unknown artist of a later date and very likely a posthumous work. Drawings include an annual report design and 9 caricatures of office satire titled: Code d'Éthique by Sylvain Martel all dated February 1990. 3 artwork collages and 7 mixed media collages are primarily annual report designs from 1971 to 1974. Reproductions include an insurance company copy of a coloured site drawing, a photo-mechanical image of the company's Magog Mill, 1928. The other reproductions are a 'DT-opoly' game board (after the Monopoly game board design), undated, and a reproduction map showing world holdings, ca. 1975-1980. Some reproductions are by unknown artists. 9 posters are advertisements for company product and fabrics, produced by Swift, a division of Dominion Textile Ltd.
