Condition 8.
Order #2827.

Stephen Thompson. '104. Loch Scavaig and the Cuchillins, Skye'. Stephen Thompson is a photographer who never disappoints. His series of Switzerland is better than William England's. His UK views are rare, and this is the only view by him of Scotland that I have seen.

Banffshire (partly Aberdeenshire)

The next group of views are by John Cockburn of Keith and are of the Keith and MacDuff area. They are in 7 by 4 inch (18 by 10 cm) format. Treadwell notes Cockburn as an Edinburgh (probably amateur) photographer, and he had seen a view by him of fisherwomen packing herring. He had a good eye and these are worth including - especially as nobody else seems to have stereographed this area. All bear a stamp 'Photo by John Cockburn, Keith', are on thick board mounts, and are condition 9 unless mentioned otherwise. All have, to some extent, a couple of vertical ridges from the mounting process.
