The Late Sir Benjamin Baker and some of His Mighty Works. 1907

For Sale is a Front Page taken from "The Sphere," May 25th 1907, showing a Portrait Photograph of "The Late Sir Benjamin Baker and some of His Mighty Works."

Sir Benjamin Baker K.C.M.G., F.R.S., who succumbed to Synocope on Saturday, aged sixty-seven, will always be remembered by his work in designing the Forth Bridge (a mile and a half long), at a cost of £3,177,000, and the Assouan dam, which holds up a reservoir of 1,000,000,000 tons of water. Sir Benjamin, who was an Irishman, was so modest a man that he was rarely photographed, but Mr. Fall of Baker Street recently took an excellent portrait of him.

Condition is Very Good.
