David Octavius Hill Scotland Photography

David Octavius Hill (1802-70) was a pioneer photographer in Scotland, and he was also a painter, and lithographer. In 1843, he entered into partnership with the young photographer Robert Adamson, and in the next four years they produced an extraordinary body of original and inventive work. This excellent book analyzes the photographic partnership, explains its remarkable success, and places it in the context of Hill's life and times.
