Scope and content
The album contains eight portrait photographs of Lorraine taken by Charles A. Aylett, The Hardy Studio, and the Bain Studio. Each portrait has her name and the dates 1914-1932 stamped in gold. The first leaf of the album contains an unsigned poem of remembrance, titled “Lorraine”. It was possibly written by Wilson MacDonald. Found loose in the album was a poem written by MacDonald for Percy Gardiner. This poem has been placed in the Wilson MacDonald collection. Also in the album is a card, dated 1901, certifying that Mrs. Phillip Gardiner of Mount Forest is a member of the Methodist Church Twentieth Century Fund.
