George Washington Wilson was an early commercial photographer credited with being a pioneer in the development of instantaneous photographs (photographs in which motion can be detected). Based in Aberdeen, Scotland, Wilson employed a large staff which traveled around Britain and the Continent, photographing architecture, monuments, cities, and scenery. Using inexpensive half-stereographs, Wilson's company published photographic albums which were very popular. By 1880, George Washington Wilson was the world's largest publisher of photographic views. e-uk-en e-uk-st e-uk-wl e-fr--- e-gx--- e-sz--- e-be--- Edinburgh Castle (Edinburgh, Scotland) 1860-1880 York Minster 1860-1880 Chichester Cathedral 1860-1880 Exeter Cathedral 1860-1880 Salisbury Cathedral 1860-1880 Lakes & ponds Europe 1860-1880 Mountains Europe 1860-1880 Hotels & taverns Europe 1860-1880 Castles & palaces Europe 1860-1880 Churches Europe 1860-1880 Cathedrals Europe 1860-1880 Waterfalls Europe 1860-1880 Forts & fortifications Europe 1860-1880 Monuments & memorials Europe 1860-1880 Houses Europe 1860-1880 Plazas Europe 1860-1880 Ruins Europe 1860-1880 Business districts Europe 1860-1880 Cities & towns Europe 1860-1880 Bridges Europe 1860-1880 Harbors Europe 1860-1880 Exhibitions England London 1860-1870 Glaciers Switzerland 1860-1880 Universities & colleges England Oxford 1860-1880 City & town halls Europe 1860-1880 Weddings Great Britain 1860-1880 England 1860-1880 Scotland 1860-1880 Wales 1860-1880 Belgium 1860-1880 France 1860-1880 Germany 1860-1880 Switzerland 1860-1880 Highlands (Scotland) 1860-1880 Trossachs (Scotland) 1860-1880 Lake District (England) 1860-1880 Windermere, Lake (England) 1860-1880 Lomond, Loch (Scotland) 1860-1880 Ness, Loch (Scotland) 1860-1880 Nevis, Ben (Scotland) 1860-1880 Jungfrau (Switzerland) 1860-1880 LOT 13071 93516562 aacr gihc DLC 931117 20250606174719.5 11627100 Converted from MARCXML to MODS version 3.8 using MARC21slim2MODS3-8_XSLT1-0.xsl (Revision 1.172 20230208)
