Rev. Thomas McCulloch, D.D. First president, 1838–1843 : [drawing]

Item is an Arthur Lismer portrait of Thomas McCulloch (based on an 1850 painting by Daniel Munro), rendered in pen and ink on paper and mounted on illustration board. Also within the folder is a partial label originally taped to the drawing that gives its title and "no. 7 —", probably referring to its suggested placement in the order of illustrations that appear in One Hundred Years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 (1920), the publication for which it was commissioned. The image was reproduced in D.C. Harvey, An Introduction to the History of Dalhousie University (1938).
