EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the work of William Borthwick Johnstone Hill and Adamson, two Scottish photographers active during the mid-19th century. The image was captured in Scotland between 1843 and 1846 using a calotype negative technique, resulting in a stunning salted paper print measuring 21.6 x 15.7 cm. In this particular photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever by these talented artists. The details are exquisite, revealing the skillful composition and technical prowess of Hill and Adamson. Their ability to capture light and shadow creates a sense of depth that draws us into the scene. While little is known about the subjects depicted in this image, their presence evokes curiosity and intrigue. Perhaps they were friends or family members of Hill and Adamson themselves, or maybe they were simply individuals who crossed paths with these pioneering photographers during their travels throughout Scotland. Regardless of their identities, one thing is certain: this print serves as an important historical document that allows us to glimpse into life during this era. It reminds us of the power photography holds as both an art form and a means for preserving our shared human experience.
