EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable moment frozen in time. The image features Mr. Williamson, the esteemed Duke of Buccleuch's huntsman, captured by Hill & Adamson, a Scottish duo known for their pioneering work in photography during the mid-19th century. Taken between 1843 and 1848 in Scotland, this salted paper print was created using a calotype negative technique. The composition measures approximately 19.7 x 14 cm (7 3/4 x 5 1/2 in. ), allowing us to appreciate intricate details with great clarity. The subject of this photograph is Mr. Williamson himself, dressed immaculately as befits his noble status and profession. His confident stance exudes authority and expertise while holding his hunting gear with pride. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the portrait, emphasizing the texture of his attire. Hill & Adamson's mastery shines through as they capture not only Mr. Williamson's physical appearance but also convey a sense of his character and passion for hunting within this single frame. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to an era when photography was still in its infancy but already capable of capturing moments that would endure throughout generations. This print serves as both a testament to the skillful artistry behind early photographic techniques and an intriguing glimpse into the life of one distinguished individual from Scotland's past.
