| Creator | Larmor; Sir Joseph (1857-1942); Irish theoretical physicist |

| Date | 20 May 1901 |
| Description | The proposal to publish a volume of G.F. [George Francis] Fitzgerald's scientific works via the Dublin University Press is under way. It would be a 'graceful act' if some of his friends would present a photogravure portrait for a frontispiece.There is a good American photograph from 1898 which would do, and two were taken. Larmor will send a copy of the 'Physical Review' in which one was reproduced and he asks Perry to find out from the Swan Engraving Company the costs of reproducing 750 copies at demi-octavo size. |
