Footnotes
"In the first six months of their association up to the end of 1843, Hill and Adamson were taking photographs characteristics of the whole of their working partnership. For instance, they were already taking calotypes of Greyfriars' Churchyard and the Newhaven fishermen and women which were then, and have been since, considered amongst their finest work" (Sara Stevenson, David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson. Catalogue of their Calotypes Taken between 1843 and 1847 in the Collection of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, 1981).
Provenance: From a private collection. These images extracted from a nineteenth century photograph album of Scottish views (by George Washington Wilson, etc.) passed down through the vendor's family.
