This photo created controversy in 1860 when HP Robinson explained to the Photographic Society of Scotland how he had created it. Some of the Members did not approve of such manipulation. Amongst the papers for the 1860 PSS Exhibition, I have found evidence of Robinson having sold 59 photographs at prices ranging from 5 shillings to 15 shillings each. |
