EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed figure of Duncan Harkness Weir, D. D. , Professor of Oriental Languages. Taken by Scottish photographer Thomas Annan in 1871, this carbon print showcases Weir's intellectual presence and scholarly demeanor. Weir's commanding posture exudes confidence as he stands against a backdrop that hints at his academic surroundings. The fine details captured in this image highlight both the craftsmanship of Annan's photography and the subject's dignified character. The composition is masterfully executed, with Weir positioned slightly off-center, drawing our attention to his expressive face. His eyes seem to hold a wealth of knowledge acquired through years of study and dedication to his field. As we delve into the history behind this photograph, it becomes evident that it represents more than just an individual portrait. It serves as a testament to Glasgow's rich educational heritage and its commitment to fostering intellectual pursuits. Measuring 21.5 × 16.5 cm (8 7/16 × 6 1/2 in. ), this carbon print allows us to appreciate the intricate details captured by Annan's lens while providing a glimpse into Victorian-era Scotland.
