EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a significant moment in history. Titled "Porthole / Sergeant Private 42nd Gordon Highlanders" this image captures the essence of military life during the mid-19th century. The subjects, clad in their distinctive uniforms, stand proudly against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle. Taken between 1843 and 1847 by Scottish photographers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, this salted paper print showcases their exceptional skill in capturing both detail and emotion. The composition is strikingly intimate, allowing us to glimpse into the lives of these brave soldiers who served with honor. The porthole sergeant and private represent the renowned 42nd Gordon Highlanders regiment, known for their bravery on the battlefield. Their stern expressions convey a sense of duty and resilience that was characteristic of these men. Hill and Adamson's collaboration revolutionized early photography techniques through their use of paper negatives. This groundbreaking approach allowed them to create stunning prints like this one, which have stood the test of time as important historical artifacts. As we admire this remarkable piece from two talented British photographers hailing from Perth and Edinburgh respectively, we are reminded not only of their artistic prowess but also of Scotland's rich military heritage.
