Description: | A photograph entitled 'Newhaven Fishwives at St Andrews' taken by David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, 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. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | photogravure | Temporal: | c. 1845 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Adamson, Robert (1821-1848) | Identifier: | 2003-5001/2/20802 | Go to resource |
