Description
George Washington Wilson: A Pioneer in Photography and Art. This biography presents a detailed account of George Washington Wilson's life and work, from his early days as a portrait miniature painter to his innovative use of photography. With the help of 3-D stereo images and a complimentary viewer, Roger Taylor sheds light on Wilson's remarkable career, which spanned both art and technology. Wilson's transition to photography led to significant success, particularly with his stereoscopic portraits of Scottish landscapes, which attracted tourists visiting Scotland. His work also caught the attention of high-profile patrons, including Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, who commissioned him to photograph Balmoral Castle and captured many historic portraits of the monarch.
