- A black and white negative of a studio portrait of an unidentified man sitting in a chair with his legs crossed and his hands in his lap. Marjorie Ruddy took a photograph of this portrait. Negative envelope does not state who or when the original photograph was taken. We believe the image to be of a Ruddy family member.
- Notes
- Marjorie Georgina Ruddy (1908-1980) was a prominent Whitby photographer and the only commercial photographer in Whitby during the 1930s and 1940s. Marjorie was the official photographer for the Whitby Police Department starting in the 1930s and as a result took many photographs of car accidents, fingerprints and crime scenes. (Station Gallery.
