Photographic collections: Scottish Foundations in Photography
Scottish Foundations in Photography
Scotland played a vital role in the early days of photography. A close relationship between Sir David Brewster and Henry Talbot meant that photography arrived quickly to St Andrews. Additionally, patent laws did not apply in Scotland so the new media flourished and spread across the country.
Key collections include:
Maitland Dougall Collection
Rossie Priory Collection
James Valentine Collection
George Washington Wilson Collection
