Collection consists of a lithographic reproduction calendar illustration of the five Dionne sisters, Emilie, Yvonne, Cécile, Annette and Marie, in their nursery schoolroom, produced for the firm of Brown and Bigelow of St. Paul, Minnesota. Original painting on which this is based was painted by Andrew Loomis (1892-1959).

Collection also consists of an oil painting from photographs showing the five Dionne sisters, Marie, Annette, Yvonne, Cecile and Emile, at about the age of five in their schoolroom in the nursery at Callander, Ontario. The painting was executed as a calendar illustration from Brown A. Bigelow of Saint Paul, Minnesota by American artist Andrew Loomis, working from photos taken by NEA Service Inc., an American company which bought world rights to take pictures of the Quints on the day of their birth. The painting apparently hung in the Dionne family home from 1943 onwards. Andrew Loomis (1892-1959) was an American artist and illustrator.
