G W Wilson It was from Cranston's Old Waverley Hotel that the Aberdeen Photographer, George Washington Wilson took his 'instantaneous views' on his visits to Edinburgh between 1859 and 1864. These were described as 'instantaneous' because the exposures were short enough to capture passers by as individual figures, rather than as blurs, on his photos. Princes Street - 1860 |
