Dr. Inglis, Halifax 1843 - 1847

"Dr. Inglis, Halifax" is a calotype portrait by the Scottish photographic partnership Hill and Adamson, taken between 1843 and 1847. The photograph shows Dr. Inglis, seated in profile and facing to the left, in a crisp, formal pose. This image is a fine example of the early work of Hill and Adamson, whose innovative use of the calotype process revolutionized portrait photography in the mid-19th century. The image is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
