EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "St. Andrews. The West Port, 1843-47" takes us back to the enchanting city of St. Andrews in Scotland during the 19th century. Created by the talented duo David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, this image showcases a remarkable architectural feature known as the West Port. The photograph transports us to a time when St. Andrews was still surrounded by its medieval city walls, evoking a sense of history and heritage that is deeply rooted within these ancient stones. The archway depicted in the image stands as a testament to the town's rich past, offering glimpses into its mediaeval charm. Through their mastery of photography, Hill and Adamson capture not only the physical structure but also convey an atmosphere that resonates with nostalgia and intrigue. The use of black and white enhances every intricate detail while adding depth to this timeless scene. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this salted paper print from a paper negative serves as an invaluable piece of art that allows viewers to immerse themselves in St. Andrews' historical tapestry. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph, we are reminded of how our surroundings can shape our identity and provide us with glimpses into generations long gone by - truly showcasing why Hill & Adamson were pioneers in capturing both beauty and history through their lens.
