It does not contain any of the fine Scottish views of George Washington
Wilson which cover much of the same geographical area. These can be viewed

Condition 8.
Order #2827.
Price $15.
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.

'490. View on the River Arkaig.
Cuilross in the distance'. This is 20 miles north of Fort William. Although
not marked, I am confident that this is by Ogle and Edge. The printing
is correct and Treadwell records view #489 as being on Loch Arkaig. This
becomes the highest O&E numbered view recorded. Price refelcts the
rarity.
Condition. Heavy foxing.
Order #2831.

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.
