The Calotype Club - Edinburgh, 1842

[Rob MacKillop]

A video made by the National Library of Scotland - try, if you can (I couldn't!) to ignore the terribly banal music throughout...5 minutes long

Thanks Rob. You should offer them an alternative soundtrack or two! Interesting anyway.

I could, and might drop them an email.

Thanks for posting this, Rob. I got through it despite the "music." I first saw the images made by Hill and Adamson when I was about 14 or so. I had come across a book called "Sun Pictures." Some of the images from that book were shown in the video you posted. (The Highland soldiers and the fishermen, for example.) What powerful images! Thanks again, Rob.
