This calotype photograph, "Edinburgh. Greyfriars' Churchyard," by the duo Hill and Adamson, captures the architectural grandeur of a classical-style entrance to a cemetery in Edinburgh. The image, created between 1843 and 1847, showcases the detail of the stonework and the imposing presence of the structure. The photograph is a testament to the artistry of Hill and Adamson, pioneers in the field of photography, and serves as a record of 19th-century architecture in Edinburgh.
