A photographic group portrait of the orchestra led by Harry Lambert Wilson (1906-1996), the figure stood on the left towards the front.
It is thought this photograph shows Wilson's orchestra at His Majesty's Theatre in the mid-1930s or 40s. The stage and musicians are decorated with a piratical, coastal theme.
Lambert, who was born in Swinton, Lancashire, was a violinist and the leader of the orchestra at Aberdeen's foremost theatre.
The man shown towards the back with an accordion is James Loughlin (1896-1976). He was primarily a pianist.
A digital copy of this photograph, and five others findable on this website, were donated to Aberdeen City Libraries by Loughlin's granddaughter.
