HILL (DAVID OCTAVIUS) and ROBERT ADAMSON

A full length portrait of Annie Linton, a Newhaven fishwife, carrying a creel, salt print from calotype negative, 190 x 132mm., [c.1845]

Footnotes

Hill and Adamson's Newhaven views and portraits were taken between 1843 and 1845 for The Fishermen and Women of the Firth of Forth, the first social-documentary photographic project. Their photographic essay, comprising approximately 130 images, sought to portray the self-sustaining and resourceful community of Newhaven in the midst of the grinding poverty felt amongst the working classes of Great Britain during the industrial revolution.
