The Linn of Dee - Braemar 1883 after an c. 1860 original

Photograph of a single arched stone bridge spanning the River Dee that flows through a narrow gap in rocks. Trees border the small gorge.
Wilson took another version of this view featuring a man seated in the left of the foreground. Figures were often included in the photographs to provide a sense of scale. This photograph is a later carbon copy of the original albumen photograph. Carbon was a process that was less susceptible to fading, unlike an albumen print that is prone to discolouration over time.Provenance
