“I
have not got any of the pictures on hand, and the weather is so bad that I
don’t know when I will be able to print any.
I have not been able to get a single print this week, even from my
thinnest negative."
[Letter:
Thomas Annan to PSS]
"This is the first year I have tried a dry process.
And for the sake of convenience it is preferable to the wet
collodion, but I think that is all it has to boast of. I am very unsatisfied with my own contribution to the Exhibition
this year, and I merely send them as specimens of the Tannin process.
I am sorry to see Scotland so poorly represented this year,
according to the paper you sent me."

Alex Crowe
"Whilst surfing the
internet for things on Kincardineshire, I came across PSS
Exhibitions and the reference to Alex Crow(e).
I am descended from
one of Alex's three brothers that migrated to Australia in the
1850's.
Here is a photograph taken by
Alex Crowe, as a professional photographer in Stirling."
