Gairbraid before 1878

"Gairbraid" is a calotype photograph taken by Thomas Annan before 1878. The image depicts a large, three-story home with a steep roof and multiple windows. The house stands proudly on a hill and is surrounded by trees. The image is a fine example of Annan's early work, which helped to establish photography as a legitimate art form. His images of Glasgow, Scotland, documented the city's architecture and social life.
