{"product_id":"falls-of-the-tummel-george-washington-wilson","title":"Falls of the Tummel - George Washington Wilson","description":"\u003cp\u003eA nineteenth-century albumen print by George Washington Wilson, depicting the Falls of the Tummel in Scotland with characteristic topographical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis albumen print captures the Falls of the Tummel in Scotland, a site documented by George Washington Wilson during his extensive travels across the British Isles. Wilson, a pioneer in the field of commercial photography, established a reputation for his technical precision and his ability to render the atmospheric qualities of the Scottish terrain. This specific image appears as a plate within a publication, likely associated with the royal travels of Queen Victoria, given the accompanying text describing the movements of the royal party.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition employs a classic approach to topographical documentation. The foreground features a small, windswept tree that provides a sense of scale against the rushing water and the rugged rock formations. The mid-ground shows the river as it cascades over the falls, while the background reveals the soft, hazy outlines of the Scottish hills. The long exposure time, characteristic of the period, results in a smooth, ethereal quality to the water, contrasting with the sharp, static details of the surrounding foliage and stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilson utilised the wet collodion process, which required the glass plate to be prepared, exposed, and developed while still damp. This technical demand makes the clarity achieved in the image particularly notable. The print is presented here in its original context, framed by the printed page of a book. The inclusion of the text provides a narrative layer, linking the visual record of the geography to the personal experiences of those who visited the site. This work offers a glimpse into the nineteenth-century fascination with the Scottish Highlands, a region that became a primary subject for photographers seeking to capture the raw, untamed character of the British wilderness for a public eager to explore the world through the medium of the printed image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-rocky-mountains-landers-peak-albert-bierstadt\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak - Albert Bierstadt — Albert Bierstadt\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"George Washington Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479430336847,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479433875791,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479433908559,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479433941327,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479433974095,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479434006863,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479434039631,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479434072399,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479434105167,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479434137935,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479434170703,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479434203471,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Falls-of-the-Tummel_Poster_CompositorV1_1786336446532.jpg?v=1786754237","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/falls-of-the-tummel-george-washington-wilson","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
