Transport and Early Photography |
|
Photographic Exhibitions |
|
Transport developed rapidly in the early days of photography. This was an era when stage coaches and canal boats were being replaced by a network of railways throughout Britain. Railways enabled the Photogrpahic Society of Scotland, in the 1850s to receive entries in its Photographic Exhibitions from throughout Britain and abroad. |

Early Street Scenes |
|
|
Some of the buildings in Edinburgh have changed little over the years. However, examining the transport on the streets can often give a fairly precise date of when a photograph was taken, as well as giving a particular character to scene. Princes Street: - Horse-drawn trams ran 1871-1907 - Cable cars ran 1899-1922 - Electric trams ran 1922-1956
