An Old Salt Anonymous
'An Old Salt'
search for the title here to find info: http://ibase.abdn.ac.uk/aberdeenic/index.php (though they don't know much about it)
it's by George Washington Wilson (or someone who worked for him), an early Scottish photographer.
this version is one i scanned from a magic lantern slide (i've got load of old slides, i really should get round to scanning some of the others, but i need a new scanner first)

this one is called 'the cobbler', and was also labelled as being from george washington wilson's studio, but the university of aberdeen archive doesn't have the original, so all i can say is that it was probably taken between 1953 and 1908
this slide wasn't in quite such good condition, and it looks like the original photo was not as sharp.
