Summary
Unknown (British)
The albumen silver print is a photographic printing process that was widely used in the 19th century. It involves coating paper support with a mixture of egg whites and salt, which creates a glossy surface to hold light-sensitive silver salts. The paper is then sensitized in a solution of silver nitrate, and exposed in a camera or under a negative. After exposure, the print is developed in a solution of gallic acid and silver nitrate, which reduces the silver salts to metallic silver and creates the final image. The albumen print process was widely used for commercial and fine art photography in the 19th century and produced high-quality, detailed images with a distinctive glossy finish.
Alexander McGlashon was a Scottish photographer who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1791. He began his career as a lithographer and engraver, working for various printers in Edinburgh. In the 1840s McGlashon became interested in photography and began to experiment with the new medium. He quickly became one of Scotland's leading photographers, renowned for his portraits and landscapes. McGlashon was one of the first photographers to use the calotype process, which allowed multiple prints to be made from a single negative. He also experimented with other photographic processes, including the daguerreotype. McGlashon's photographs were widely exhibited and critically acclaimed. He was a member of the Royal Scottish Academy and the Photographic Society of Scotland. McGlashon continued to work as a photographer until his death in 1877 at the age of 86. His legacy as a pioneer of Scottish photography is still celebrated today.
