NOTES: Catalogued 4/97, MAP. Accompanying printed caption sheet says: "Notice to the Reader. The plates of the present work are impressed by the agency of Light alone without any aid whatever from the artist's pencil. They are the sun- pictures themselves, and not, as some persons have imagined, engravings in imitation". "He (Talbot) was there (Scotland) in October 1844 to make the pictures - a relatively short trip in poor weather with himself in bad health - not the best for a photographic tour." [Larry J. Schaaf, 3/99]
