Picturing Highland landscapes: George Washington Wilson and the photography of the Scottish Highlands

Abstract

The photographic work of George Washington Wilson (1823–1893) is discussed both in terms of its artistic contribution and cultural context. Consideration is given to its place within the tradition of viewing and picturing Highland scenery. Wilson's photography is further examined for its geography, content, and connections to contemporary Highland tourism. Finally, attention is given to Wilson's work as both a cause and effect of 19th century conceptions of rurality and attitudes to Nature.
