Photographic Exhibitions
Thomas Brumby Johnston
entered his photographs in several PSS Exhibitions:
|
1856: |
- Five collodion portraits, including
'Mrs Hogg, widow of the Ettrick Shepherd'.
- A revolving stereoscope with eight
collodion pictures. |
|
1858 |
- Two waxed paper landscapes of
Scotland:
'On the Banks of Allan Water'
'Old Bridge, Stirling - Twilight' |
| 1864 |
-
Five views - scenes in Fife. These were described in the PSS
Catalogue as 3 collodion, 2 waxed paper and 1 tannin. |
The exhibitions listed in above are the 1st, 3rd and 9th
PSS Exhibitions. These are the only PSS Exhibitions for which
catalogues appear to have survived.
I expect that scrutiny of the
press reports of the 1850s and 1860s would reveal that TB Johnston also
exhibited his work at PSS Exhibitions in other years. |
