I was attending a talk on the history of photography in Edinburgh with sample works dating back to the early to mid 1800s. Some of the images were so sharp and detailed that I felt I should share this impressive collection of works and research. The person that built the website in the link is a remarkable and knowledgeable man and it was an honour to meet him. Originally he was asked to write a small book on the history of photography in Edinburgh and found that it was too difficult to keep updating it as he continued his research, so he opted to make the website as it was easy to edit the work quickly and efficiently. The post cards page is particularly interesting, and there is a series of Edinburgh scenes with the same sky! Oh no its 1800s post work! These are not manips I have seen the originals, they are very old and fragile. (From glass negs I think) So if you are at a loose end over the hols visit this fascinating glimpse of Edinburgh from the 1800 to the present day. This is my seasonal offering to you all. Enjoy Edited for typos as usual
