David Young and Unknown Man, Newhaven, 1845 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Fisherfolk
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - two men standing side by side in the quaint fishing village of Newhaven, Edinburgh. Taken in 1845 by renowned Scottish photographers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, this image offers a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during the 19th century. The subjects of this portrait are David Young and an unidentified man, both dressed in traditional fisherman attire. Their weathered faces tell stories of hard work and resilience as they proudly display their catch from the sea. The intricate details captured by Hill and Adamson's lens showcase not only their technical mastery but also their deep appreciation for human expression. Set against a backdrop of willow baskets used to transport fish, these fishermen symbolize Scotland's rich maritime heritage. Their hats perched atop their heads add character to the composition while emphasizing their connection to nature's elements. Preserved through salted paper print from paper negative technique, this photograph is now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. It serves as a testament to Hill and Adamson's pioneering contribution to early photography. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are transported back in time - reminded that behind every great city lies its humble origins rooted in hardworking individuals like David Young and his companion who shaped Britain's cultural tapestry with unwavering determination.
