| Source | Photograph of a lithograph by M. Gauci (1774–1854) captioned "Colonel William Farquhar of the Madras Engineer Corps". The photograph is from the photograph and print collection of the Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde (KITLV) (Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies), photograph no. 16311 (14 x 10.5 cm): see http://kitlv.pictura-dp.nl/index.php?option=com_memorix&Itemid=28&task=topview&searchplugin=eenvoudigdistkitlv&onderwerp=army&cp=3&rpp=12&CollectionID=1&RecordID=37530&PhotoID=KLV001033453. A copy of the lithograph is in the collection of the National Library of Singapore, having been donated by Daniel Sangster, great-great-grandson of Farquhar. The lithograph was itself based on an oil painting called The Rajah of Madras (c. 1828, at the time of Farquhar's marriage to Margaret Loban) by John Graham, currently owned by Wendy Lumsden, wife of James William Farquhar Lumsden, the great-grandson of Farquhar.
