Archibald Ingram

 A neo-classical marble relief depicting Archibald Ingram (1699-1770), photographed by Duncan Brown. Originally installed in the Merchants' House in Bridgegate, the relief was transferred to the Directors' Room in the new Merchants' House built in West George Street in 1874. Ingram was one of Glasgow's leading tobacco merchants and was involved in the Glasgow Arms Bank, the Pollokshaws Printing Co, the Inkle Factory and many other business enterprises. He also was a patron of the Foulis Academy. He was elected Provost in 1762 and 1763. Ingram Street is named for him

Ingram is shown kneeling at the feet of a woman who is crowning him with a wreath. Next to her chair is a shield bearing Glasgow's coat of arms. Behind Ingram are three figures. The one on the far left carries fasces (a bundle of rods tied together with an axe), a symbol of power in ancient Rome and which is probably a reference to Ingram's positions as Provost and a Dean of Guild.
