John Moffat's Cabinet Print Thank you to Ed Skedd, Marchmont Edinburg for sending me this cabinet print of Horatius Bonar, taken at John Moffat's studio, probably shortly before Bonar's death. The back of this cabinet print shows that the photo was sold by W Weddell, Bible Warehouse, 4 Saint Andrew Square, Edinburgh. A small section has been cut off the left-hand side of the image above. |

Another Photo Ed Skedd also sent another photograph of Horatius Bonar, taken at John Horsburgh's studio during Bonar's term as Moderator of the Free Church of Scotland. |
