2025.03.002: A seated portrait of John Ferguson possibly from the 1920s or 30s. Written in fine print beneath the photo/engraving is "Dominion Publishing Co. Ltd" and also "Eng. by E.G. Williams & Bro. N.Y." This latter text suggests this is an engraving rather than a photograph. Unsure how two publishers could produce the same photo unless Dominion Publishing sent the photo to EG Williams & Bro to develop since they were well regarded.
