Photographic Album This exhibition of photographs by early Scottish and French photographers are taken from an album believed to have been compiled by the artist and photographer James Drummond, a member of the Council of the Photographic Society of Scotland that was founded in 1857-58. Projected images The exhibition comprises a few photos hanging on the walls and 126 images are displayed in turn, continuously, onto a wall (for about tens seconds each) from two projectors. They are by:
- Dr
Thomas Keith (1827-95)
- David
Octavius Hill (1802-70) and
Robert Adamson (1821-48)
-
William Walker (1814-85)
- James Good
Tunny (1820-87)
- Archibald
Burns (1831-80)
-
Donaldson Clark (1816-73) All the above photographers (and James Drummond who is believed to have compiled the album) were members if the Photographic Society of Scotland, except for Hill & Adamson whose photographic partnership ended in 1847, nine years before the Photographic Society of Scotland was founded. The remaining images are 18 by unknown photographers and one (No 84) which was not displayed because the image in the album had become too badly faded. Peter Stubbs: March 16, 2009 |
