George Stewart Campbell, LL.D. Chairman of the Board of Governors since 1908 : [drawing]

Part is an original Arthur Lismer portrait of George Stewart Campbell commissioned for One Hundred Years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 (1920). The drawing contains the date-received stamp from the printer's engraving department, which reads "Mar 1 1920," as well as faint pencil notations along the bottom border and the title "George Stewart Campbell." The misspelling of George Campbell's middle name as "Stuart" in the first printing of the book was the cause for its rejection by the Centenary Committee. The correct spelling appears in the second printing.

Two sketches by Arthur Lismer : [drawings]

Item is a single sheet of tracing paper, torn from a sketchbook, with original Arthur Lismer pencil sketches on both sides.

Arthur Lismer sketch of Arthur Stanley Mackenzie : [drawing]

Part is an original Arthur Lismer sketch of Arthur Stanley Mackenzie. The drawing is laid out on a grid, using pencil on tracing paper, and is probably an early study for an illustration commissioned for One hundred years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 (1920). Ultimately, none of Lismer's portraits of President Mackenzie was published; the book featured a photographic portrait.

Arthur Lismer sketch of his daughter, Marjorie : [drawing]

Part is an original Arthur Lismer pencil sketch of his daughter, Marjorie. The drawing is on the reverse of what was probably an early study for a portrait of Arthur Stanley Mackenzie commissioned for One hundred years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 (1920), and a second partial outline of Mackenzie's face can be seen very faintly upside down beneath the drawing of Esther.

Arthur Lismer portraits of Arthur Stanley Mackenzie commissioned for One hundred years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 : [drawings]

Item is an illustration board with original Arthur Lismer pen and ink portraits of Arthur Stanley Mackenzie on both sides.

Arthur Lismer portrait of Arthur Stanley Mackenzie commissioned for One hundred years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 : [drawing]

Item is an original Arthur Lismer pen and ink portrait of Arthur Stanley Mackenzie, commissioned for—but not used in—One hundred years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 (1920). The subject's body has been drawn on paper and glued to the illustration board, joining the drawing almost seamlessly just below Mackenzie's collar and bow tie. Ink marks barely visible beneath the academic gown indicate the existence of an earlier drawing. The publication featured instead a photographic portrait of President Mackenzie.

Unfinished Arthur Lismer portrait of Arthur Stanley Mackenzie commissioned for One hundred years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 : [drawing]

Part is an unfinished Arthur Lismer portrait of Arthur Stanley Mackenzie, commissioned for One hundred years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 (1920).

Arthur Lismer portrait of George Stewart Campbell commissioned for One hundred years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 : [drawing]

The image was reproduced in P.B. Waite's Lives of Dalhousie University, volume one, 1818–1925 (1994). A different portrait of Campbell appears in One hundred years of Dalhousie, 1818–1918 (1920). See Box 1, Folder 22, Item 1 for the reproduction of the image that appears in the centenary publication and Folder 22, Item 2, Part 1 for the original drawing.

Facsimile of the brass on the corner stone of the original Dalhousie College : [drawing]

Item is a facsimile by Arthur Lismer of the ornately scripted brass that graced the original Dalhousie College, commemorating the event of George Ramsay laying the building's cornerstone in 1820. Also within the folder is a label originally taped to the drawing that gives its title and "no. 4 —", 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 the image was created. The book also features a facsimile of the stone tablets on the college's parapet, but the location of the original drawing of these is unknown.
