EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Rev. George Gilfillan and was captured by Hill & Adamson, a Scottish photography duo active between 1843 and 1848. The image is a salted paper print created from a Calotype negative, measuring 20.3 x 14.6 cm (8 x 5 3/4 in. ). Rev. George Gilfillan, depicted in this photograph, was a prominent figure in Scotland during the mid-19th century. Known for his eloquence and literary prowess, he played an influential role as both a minister and writer. The composition of the portrait exudes dignity and gravitas befitting Rev. Gilfillan's esteemed position within society. His piercing gaze captures the viewer's attention while conveying an air of wisdom and introspection. Hill & Adamson's technical expertise is evident in their meticulous use of light and shadow to accentuate Rev. Gilfillan's features, creating depth and texture within the image. The choice to utilize the Calotype process further enhances this photograph's historical significance as it represents one of the earliest forms of photography developed during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to Scotland in the mid-1800s - a time when artistry met innovation to capture not only physical appearances but also glimpses into individuals' souls like Rev. George Gilfillan himself.
