The collection consists of two cabinet card photographs, ca.1887. One features a family group of a man, woman and a small child in a sleigh. They are identified from a caption on the face of the photograph as J.H. and Elizabeth Rutherford and their daughter Marion. The other is an enlargement of the woman's face, vignetted, from the first photograph. The photographer's imprints indicate that the photographs were both made in Owen Sound, but at different times.
