Abstract

This collection consists of seven business cards and a copy of a brochure created by Bradford, Ransford and Leo Naugler. All handwritten and some colorfully decorated, these materials give a brief glimpse into the advertising and business practices of three of Nova Scotia’s most celebrated folk artists.

The material includes about 70 slides of Pierce in his studio and barbershop, as well as images of his work. The slides were taken with an art historian's camera.

There are also four reels of audio recordings. One has an interview between Henry and Pierce, the next has notes that Henry made to herself about the visit. The other two were given along with the collection, but it is suspected they are both blank reels. The audio reels have been digitized.
