More than 450,000 photographs (including 200,000 glass negatives), were taken by the Notman studio during its 78 years of operation. Each glass negative is accompanied by a print that is identified, listed and classified in numerical order in one of 200 albums, and in alphabetical order in one of 43 other albums. The principal period of this archive is 1840-1935. About 800,000 images taken by other photographers (from the 19th century to the present), including such known figures as Alexander Henderson and John Taylor.
A small but important collection of photographic equipment.

Famous quotes containing the word profile:
“Nature centres into balls,
And her proud ephemerals,
Fast to surface and outside,
Scan the profile of the sphere;
Knew they what that signified,
A new genesis were here.”

Wears its soul like a hat....”
