sketches of Dr. Jean-Paul Valcourt and of another man's eyes, Profile drawing of Valcourt. He is reading from sheets of paper. A small, incomplete frontal sketch of another man's eyes and nose is included in the upper left. At right is a tiny diagram of jury box? Also the words, "man in witness stand - beard, seated." which do not seem to describe Valcourt., Dr. Valcourt was the government pathologist who did the autopsy on Laporte. He described in court (during Paul Rose's trial), how Pierre Laporte was killed. When this sketch was taken, he was telling how the medallion on Laporte's throat chain had left marks on the skin when he was strangled., This collection contains 9 sketchbooks and 15 (approx.) large works. The sketches for political cartoons, mostly of FLQ trials, 1970-71.
