Edinburgh. Greyfriars' Churchyard 1843 - 1847

"Edinburgh. Greyfriars' Churchyard" is a calotype photograph taken by the Scottish partnership of Hill and Adamson between 1843 and 1847. This work, which depicts a man kneeling before a tomb, is one of the many photographic studies of the people and places of Edinburgh created by the pair during their collaboration. The image’s sharp detail, particularly evident in the stonework, reflects the precision and clarity that are hallmarks of calotype prints.
