Thomas Annan 1829-1887

"By 1860 Annan had acquired a large–scale camera to take photographs which echoed his feel for light, and his sense of emotion and power in landscape. He made a reputation for himself as an expert in copying works of art, which in turn led to his first notable commission in 1862 from the Glasgow Art Union."

由以上的网站提到“Thomas Annan as an expert in copying works of art.” 我今天刚好买到一本1867-8年由Art-union of Glasgow的一本Illustration of Mary Queen of Scots: oil paintings by Robert Herdman, 4 photography by Mr.Thomas Annan. photo size about 9X 12 1/4 inch. Very good condition and rich image. 这本插图的线装书不是对外发行的，所以数量不多。以当时the Glasgow art union 的 members看会少于100本。
