As a proud Scottish-American, I was thrilled to find this 1845 photo of Dr. George Bell by David Octavius Hill of Edinburgh. The new science of photography had its place in the flourishing
Scottish art scene of that era, and Mr. Hill was a true pioneer. Below, Dr. Bell dressed
and looking very good. Both photos are in the National Gallery of Scotland.
Dr. Bell was a babe! 🥰🥰😎🔥🔥
ReplyDeleteWhat a pleasant find! I have read about his writings of the awful conditions of children in Edinburgh and his changes for social reform. A good man.
ReplyDeleteA fine man all around.
DeleteMagnificent man. I wonder if he did a nude one?
ReplyDeleteSadly, not that I could find.
DeleteFeines Fotos, wenn man die damalige Technologie bedenkt. (“)
