EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Reverend James Julius Wood, a prominent figure in Greyfriars Church during the mid-19th century. Captured by Hill & Adamson, Scottish photographers active between 1843 and 1848, this image was taken on October 22,1843. The technique used to create this remarkable piece is a salted paper print from a Calotype negative. Reverend Wood's dignified presence emanates from the photograph as he stands against a simple backdrop. His gaze is steady and thoughtful, reflecting his commitment to his congregation and his faith. The composition beautifully captures both the physical details of Reverend Wood's appearance - with every line etched on his face telling its own story - and an intangible sense of wisdom that seems to radiate from within him. Measuring at approximately 19.8 x 14.1 cm (7 13/16 x 5 9/16 in. ), this print represents not only an exquisite example of early photography but also serves as a historical record of an influential clergyman during a significant era for Greyfriars Church. The collaboration between Hill & Adamson resulted in numerous iconic images capturing various aspects of Scottish life during their brief partnership. This particular portrait exemplifies their ability to capture the essence of their subjects while showcasing technical mastery through the use of calotype negatives
