Wilson is one of the most important phographers of the XIX century. He had a huge amount of published work. We can highlight from his artwork the Scottish views, landscapes and cities. This album is a collection of a different types of photos of Scotland, his home town, circa 1870.
This album is collected under the abbreviations G.J.S, which I don't know what does it stand for.
The poetic and romantic views of Scotland are pretty well reflected in this beautiful and peacefully photos. This views are designed to be enjoyed relaxed and calmed.
