Description

A black-and-white photographic print showing a portrait of Thornbury Mayor, Cecil Rutherford. The image shows an elderly gentleman, mayor, captured from the waist up. The man is positioned centrally, looking directly into the camera with a neutral, slightly parted expression. His light-colored hair is slicked straight back, and he is wearing thick, horn-rimmed eyeglasses. He is dressed in formal civic attire consisting of a dark suit jacket, a light-colored dress shirt, and a wide necktie featuring a prominent geometric or grid pattern. Draped over his shoulders is an elaborate ceremonial chain of office (mayoral collar) made of wide fabric straps embellished with circular metallic links and decorative civic crests or medallions.
