Mounted calotype print by David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson. Half-length portrait of sculptor Alexander Handyside Ritchie (1804-1870).
Mounted photogravure of earlier calotype print by David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, printed ca. 1900. Portrait of Miss Mary McCandlish.
The array of types Hill and Adamson photographed were subsequently produced in book form and as photogravures. Four of these produced by J C Annan are in the collection of the AGNSW. ‘Camera Work’, the high-quality art journal published by Alfred Stieglitz between 1903 and 1917, also reproduced in photogravure three suites of Hill and Adamson portraits. Miss Mary McCandlish, beautifully dressed and sitting in an arbour of roses, is remarkable not least for her expression. Despite having to sit for the required exposure time, she does not appear stiffly posed as in most photographs of this period, but simply to have an unusual and interesting personality.
