EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time when Sir David Brewster, accompanied by Miss Mary Playfair, Lady Brewster, Mr. Pakenham Edgeworth, and Miss Brewster, gathered together for what appears to be an intimate gathering. The image is attributed to the talented Scottish photographer Dr. John Adamson and was taken between 1843 and 1846. In this black and white salted paper print from a Calotype negative, we see the group standing close to each other with expressions that suggest camaraderie and warmth. Sir David Brewster himself stands tall at the center of the composition, exuding an air of authority and intellect. Miss Mary Playfair radiates elegance as she stands beside him while Lady Brewster adds gracefulness to the scene. Mr. Pakenham Edgeworth's presence brings a sense of intrigue, his gaze fixed on something beyond the frame. Lastly, Miss Brewster completes this fascinating ensemble with her youthful charm. The delicate details captured in this small-sized print (11 × 14.6 cm) highlight Dr. John Adamson's skillful technique as he masterfully immortalizes these notable figures from history. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, it serves as a reminder of both the artistic talent behind early photography techniques like calotype negatives and our fascination with capturing moments that transcend time itself.
