Alexander Rutherford, William Ramsay, and John Liston - Capturing the Essence of Scottish Fishermen in 19th Century Newhaven
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, printed around 1916 by David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, transports us back to the rugged shores of Newhaven in Scotland during the mid-19th century. The image showcases three distinguished figures - Alexander Rutherford, William Ramsay, and John Liston - who embody the spirit of Scottish fisherfolk.

Their weathered faces tell tales of resilience and hard work as they gaze into the distance with a sense of determination. The attention to detail is remarkable; every crease on their clothing speaks volumes about their laborious lives at sea. The composition captures not only the physical presence but also reveals a glimpse into their personalities. Each man's unique character shines through – Rutherford exudes confidence with his top hat perched atop his head while Ramsay stands tall with an air of stoicism.
