EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Dugald Stewart Monument, standing proudly atop Calton Hill. The monument itself is a testament to the Scottish philosopher and mathematician, Dugald Stewart, who made significant contributions to the field of moral philosophy during his active years from 1843 to 1848. The photograph was taken by Hill & Adamson, a renowned Scottish photography partnership that flourished between 1843 and 1848. Interestingly, this particular print was created using a salted paper technique from a Calotype negative. This process adds an exquisite texture and depth to the image. The composition showcases the monument against a picturesque backdrop of Paris, France. The juxtaposition of these two iconic locations creates an intriguing visual narrative that invites viewers to ponder upon historical connections between Scotland and France. Measuring at approximately 19.7 x 14 cm (7 ¾ x 5 ½ in. ), this print is not only visually stunning but also serves as a valuable piece of art history. It offers us a glimpse into both architectural grandeur and photographic techniques prevalent during the mid-19th century.
