A black and white photo of Sir Thomas McGreevy, a middle-aged partially bald man sitting in an upholstered chair with one arm resting on the desk; he is facing the camera. The style of the dark formal clothing looks mid-Victorian; a top hat rests upside down on another upholstered chair next to the sitter. Draperies hang in the background, where there is a painted backdrop of a door and more drapery.
Hand-coloured (originally black and white) photograph of a large house (Villa Les Rochers) with a flagpole in front of it, and a shed attached to the side of it.
Sepia-toned photo of a middle-aged gentleman, Sir Herbert Symington, sitting on a chair outdoors with garden flowers (delphiniums) behind him.
A colourful watercolour-style painting designed as an election poster, depicting two men - a farmer and possibly a butcher - who are together, on their shoulders hoisting Sir John A. Macdonald, who is carrying the British flag known as the Red Ensign, with a proud expression on his face. Under the image are the words, The Old Flag, The Old Policy, The Old Leader.
Oval sepia-toned photograph of four people (the Bate family) including an elderly man (Sir Henry Bate), a baby (his granddaughter), and two women (his wife and daughter) all dressed in white.
A head-and-shoulders portrait of Lady Agnes Macdonald, a young woman of about 30 to 35 years old, her dark hair pulled tightly into an arrangement of braids pinned behind her head. She wears a buttoned-up shirt, a cameo at her throat and a necklace the details of which are indistinguishable. Her expression is a mixture of thoughtful and stern.
A photo of the poster announcing Queen Victoria's proclamation creating the Dominion of Canada, July 1, 1867.
A photograph of three hand-coloured postcards overlapped on a table, each depicting different scenes around Rivière-du-Loup.
Black and white photo of an adult woman (Mary Macdonald) wearing a flat, vacant expression, sitting in a 19th century style wheelchair and holding a black parasol over her head.
Black and white photograph of Kenneth Molson, a tall man smiling and holding a toddler, also smiling, posing outdoors with lawn and trees in the background.
Black and white image of a medium-sized steamship ferry, in transit on a large river, with black smoke coming out of the smoke stack and the front deck crowded with people.
Black and white photo of Villa Les Rochers, a house that looks to be in two parts: a single plain A-frame farmhouse, with a large addition featuring a mansard roof on the far side. Trees and shrubs surround the house.
