Calotype

The Artist and the Gravedigger- Robert Adamson & D. O. Hill (mid 1840's)

I chose this calotype because I think the subject matter is very intriguing. This photograph, taken in Edinburgh, Scotland, has the title "The Artist and the Gravedigger", which still doesn't tell the viewer much about what exactly is taking place in the photograph. The ambiguity and also the uniqueness of the subject matter is what drew me to this calotype.
