Are the @V_and_A aware of this collection, @Ravilious2 ? Might not be time now to do anything about it, but probably out of reach of Newcastle's Laing Gallery and over the border from the Scottish collections. Paging @RPShistgroup for info.

Back to the beginnings: this is a relative rarity, a Scottish daguerrotype, taken by Cornelius Hughes sometime between 1848 and 1853. There is something haunted and soul-stealing about portraits both in this medium & in wet-plate collodion that had been lost by the century's end.

Absolutely knocked out to see this painting in the flesh today at @VisitCyfarthfa. It's probably my favourite image of industrial South Wales and I've only ever seen a lo-res version online- in the flesh it's even more surreal and dreamlike than you expect. Attributed to
