A Grand Old Man of the Empire : Sir Donald Currie. 1907

For Sale is a Full Page taken from "The Sphere," May 18th, 1907, showing a Portrait called "A Grand Old Man of the Empire : Sir Donald Currie. Painted by W. W. Ouless, R.A."

This fine picture is exhibited at the Academy and gives its fine impression of that master of the main, Sir Donald Currie, who is now eighty-one years of age. Sir Donald, who is the son of James Currie of Belfast, one of the pioneers of shipping to South Africa, was made C.M.G. thirty years ago for his services in the settlement of the diamond fields dispute and the Orange Free State boundary ; he got his "K." four years later for further assistance during the Zulu War and became C.C.M.G. in 1897. He represented Perthshire in Parliament - first as a Liberal, then as a Unionist - for twenty years.

Condition is Very Good.
