Heavy book – extra shipping needed for overseas. Published under the sanction of The Senate of the University. Thomas Annan had studios in Glasgow from 1855, and in Hamilton before moving to Edinburgh. He worked first with the calotype process and later with the collodion process, then the gravure process. His work included copies of famous paintings, portraits of Glasgow University professors and a documentary series of photographs of old closes of Glasgow. His son James joined the firm in 1877 before taking over the business on the death of his father Thomas in 1887. James Annan was a pioneer of the photogravure technique, travelling to Vienna in 1883 to learn the process from it's inventor Karl Klic.
