George
Hall
"This
photograph is by George Hall.
At the
City of Edinburgh Museums,
we have a number of George Hall photos in the Newhaven photo archive. They are
from a collection of over 100 glass plate negatives and transparencies taken by
him, and donated to the City Art Centre in 1990.
Many
of the plates are of unidentified landscapes but some can be firmly associated
with Newhaven.
We
have very little information about George Hall but we do know that he was an
enthusiastic photographer and walker who had strong connections with Badenoch in
Inverness-shire, and that he had been president of the Edinburgh-Badenoch
Association. He died in 1946.
