| Author | James Dunlop (1830-1858); [1] Army officer. He was educated at Edinburgh Academy, and entered the army, purchasing a commission in the Coldstream Guards in 1849. He served with distinction in the Crimea and died in the south of France in 1858. He is not recorded as being a member of the Edinburgh Calotype Club. Dunlop’s aunt Frances Dunlop, the second wife of Alexander Earle Monteith may have introduced him to photography. It is probable that the photographs of Malta and Italy were taken by Dunlop, while travelling with James Calder Macphail, another photographer whose work appears in volume one, in the course of a ‘grand tour’ in the late 1840s, possibly in 1847 - there is some discrepancy about the dates. Other calotypes attributed to Dunlop are in the collections of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and the John Paul Getty Museum. |
