AFTER GEORGE WASHINGTON WILSON (1823-93)

Balmoral Castle, from the River

1883 after an 1863 original

Carbon print | 8.1 x 7.1 cm (image) | RCIN 2620007

Photograph of a view of Balmoral Castle and the River Dee. The castle is located in the background and the river is in the middle ground. There are trees and foliage in the foreground.

This photograph is a later carbon copy of the original albumen photograph. Carbon was a process that was less susceptible to fading, unlike an albumen print that is prone to discolouration over time.
