Edinburgh.
The first views are all early and date from the late 1850s


J. Cramb, Photographer to the Queen (blindstamp). 'A view from Calton Hill, towards south-east'.  John Cramb, 67 West Nile Street, Glasgow (also at Lanark). Used two small stereo cameras of his own construction which were placed at each side of his 8X10 camera, enabling him to take stereo and full plate at the same time (Treadwell). Also went to Jerusalem in 1860 and published 'Series of Photograpic Views'.
