Title

The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow

Description

Thomas Annan had already established a reputation as one of Scotland's leading photographers when he was commissioned by the City of Glasgow Improvement Trust to take photographs of the closes and wynds of old Glasgow that were scheduled for demolition under the Glasgow City Improvements Act of 1866. Thirty-one photographs were taken. Two editions of these photographs were produced from the collodion negatives in the years following the completion of the commission. The original series of prints used the albumen process and were created in limited numbers. In 1878, as a result of demand from a number of institutions, the Trustees had a second edition of 100 published, with an additional nine photographs. This edition used Joseph Swan's carbon print process for which Annan had secured exclusive usage rights for Scotland in 1866.
Attached to title page : handwritten letter dated 9 September 1881 from Lord Provost John Ure at City Chambers to Dr. R. Scott Orr, President of the Faculty of the Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, giving details of the circumstances surrounding the presentation of a special set of the photographs to the Faculty.

<![CDATA[Portrait of David Livingstone]]> https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/656

Dublin Core

Title

Portrait of David Livingstone

Description

Seated half-length in a black coat and grey trousers.

Livingstone funded his own medical studies at Anderson's University in Glasgow by working as a tradesman cotton spinner. He moved to London to enter the London Missionary Society and further his medical studies in the London hospitals. In 1840 he became a licentiate of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and was ordained a missionary in the same year.

Although set to serve as a missionary in China, he was instead sent to South Africa. Here he worked and travelled as a medical missionary for many years.

This portrait was purchased by the Faculty in 1875. It is an 'enlarged photograph by Mr Thomas Annan coloured in oil' and cost 30 guineas. The photograph was taken in 1864, and the image was coloured in oil after Livingstone's death.
