Description: | A photograph of three fishermen at Newhaven near Edinburgh, Scotland, taken by David Octavius Hill, (1802-1870) and Robert Adamson (1820-1848), in about 1845. Hill, an artist, and Adamson, a chemist, formed one of the most important partnerships in the history of photography. They had ambitious plans to produce a photographic record of the everyday lives of various communities in Scotland. However, Adamson's early
death meant that only the Newhaven project was completed. The full title of this photograph is 'Newhaven Fishermen. Alexander Rutherford, William Ramsay and John Liston'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photograph salt print | Temporal: | c. 1845 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Adamson, Robert (1821-1848) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20173 | Go to resource |
