..the work of many early photographers. @kgbaston.bsky.social and I prepared the material for display and thoroughly enjoyed chatting to our lovely guests before they moved on to the www.npg.org.uk to see their fabulous Alfred Buckham exhibition.
A real treat this week, a one-off photographic exhibition at @signetlibrary.bsky.social by @lixmount.bsky.social for @rpshistgroup.bsky.social This selection of our photographic collection featured our Hill & Adamson Album, negatives of Penicuik House, albums from the Roughead Collection plus..
A few new things, including this 1972/3 Edinburgh and Leith Posr-Office Directory.
This super Directory and Voter’s Guide to Edinburgh and Leith compiled by William Sinclair in 1893 features a beautiful interpretation of the Arms of Leith, although the real treats are the advertisements! @signetlibrary.bsky.social
