EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of Rev Dr James McCosh, captured by the talented Scottish photographers Hill & Adamson. The image, created between 1843 and 1848, is a salted paper print produced from a Calotype negative. Rev Dr James McCosh's commanding presence is beautifully preserved in this photograph, measuring 20.3 x 14.3 cm (8 x 5 5/8 in. ). The details are strikingly clear, allowing us to appreciate his facial features and the intensity in his gaze. His dignified demeanor reflects his status as a respected clergyman during that era. The mount surrounding the image measures an impressive 37.5 x 26.8 cm (14 3/4 x 10 9/16 in. ), enhancing its visual impact when displayed or admired up close. Hill & Adamson were renowned for their pioneering work with early photographic techniques such as Calotypes, which involved using paper coated with silver iodide to create negatives before printing them onto salted paper. Their collaboration resulted in numerous remarkable portraits capturing prominent figures of their time. This particular portrait of Rev Dr James McCosh serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to the skillful artistry of Hill & Adamson. It offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the life and character of this influential individual who played a significant role within society during the mid-19th century.
