EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "St. Andrews. North Street, Fishergate, 1843-47" captures a slice of life in 19th century Britain. The creators behind this remarkable piece are none other than David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson from the renowned Hill & Adamson duo. The image transports us to the bustling streets of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland. In this snapshot of history, we witness a woman engaged in her occupation as a basket maker outside her shop on North Street. With skillful precision, she weaves together intricate baskets that reflect the craftsmanship of the time. Surrounded by other shops and people going about their daily lives, this scene offers a glimpse into the vibrant street culture of St. Andrews during this era. The architectural details add depth to the composition while highlighting the unique charm of the location. Preserved through salted paper printing from a paper negative technique popular at that time period, this photograph is now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection – an invaluable piece showcasing heritage artistry. As we admire this stunning capture by Hill & Adamson, it serves as a reminder not only of our shared human history but also celebrates individuals like these women who contributed to their communities through their professions and skills.
