The Mound |
|
The two National Galleries at the foot of the Mound are on the right-hand side of this view. Assembly Hall in Mound Place, with its two towers, in the background of this photo was built 1858-59. The movement of the figures indicates a fairly slow exposure. So, perhaps this photograph was taken around 1860 or the early 1860s. There appears to be a white building under construction to the left of Assembly Hall. This photo appears to have been taken from 75 Princes Street (or very close). For almost a hundred years from 1848, 75 Princes Street was the address of photographic studios, including: 1850-60: Sotires Georgiades 1864-65: James Cumming |
