View in Glencoe

Photograph of mountain sides with a road passing from the bottom left of the photograph and then disappearing behind a hill on the right. On the road are two horses, one person is on horseback whilst another stands with their back to the viewer. The hills in the background are shrouded in mist.

Wilson's captures the differing tonal ranges in the textures of the hills and that change from the foreground to the background in this print. This is another example of Wilson's 'instantaneous' photographs where he was able to capture otherwise transient natural features like mist and fog using shorter exposure times. This photograph was taken during the autumn of 1860.
