Oil Portraits [Kept separately\
a. This large oil portrait (25" x 30") formerly hung over the fireplace in a gilded frame, also donated to the TVA. The painting is of a young Mr Cummings, perhaps William. If the portrait is of William’s son, it is worth noting that Thomas Workman was an accomplished professional portrait painter whose studio for awhile was in the Bradburn Building at George and Simcoe. Further research needs to be done. The painting is stable, but has suffered deterioration over time because it was hung in the living room over the fire for many years. On reflection, the archivist believes this is a funeral portrait of the first William H. Bradburn who died 3 August 1869. This would be consistent with the family legend that the portrait hung over the family hearth.

b.  William Cummings (1819-1890). This portrait compares favourably with photos in the Cumming family alburn.

c. Unidentified oil painting, c. 1870s, possibly of Thomas Evans Bradburn (1853-1933).
d. William Thomas Cummings (1849-?) Painting of someone in their 20s in the 1870s, and looks to have similar facial features to William Cummings.

William Helm plane. The history of this plane: “It was owned by William Helm who died in Peterborough in 1902. The plane was disposed of after his death. Some one carried it west to Los Angeles, California, and there it was purchaed in 1916 at auction by R. H. Bradburn, not knowing it to be at one time the property of his grandfather. Same was returned to Peterborough in July 1940.”
