Arran and Wemyss Bay, Ely and Gloucester cathedrals, and Derby-bound traffic on Clapham Road show the reach of these prints after photographs by George Washington Wilson and Co., the firm built by the Aberdeen photographer George Washington Wilson (1823–1893), whose images continued to circulate after his death. They are late-nineteenth-century book illustrations rather than a uniform series of original photographs. Millport joins the Scottish coastal subjects, and the London views range from Holborn Viaduct and Piccadilly to Westminster and the Thames. Country houses and a library overseas complete the selection.
