Hill & Adamson
In 1843 painter David Octavius Hill joined engineer Robert Adamson to form Scotland's first photographic studio.〔''Union List of Artist Names''〕 During their brief partnership that ended with Adamson's untimely death, Hill & Adamson produced "the first substantial body of self-consciously artistic work using the newly invented medium of photography."〔Daniel, Malcolm (2004). ''Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History''. Daniel is the curator of〕 Watercolorist John Harden, on first seeing Hill & Adamson's calotypes in November 1843, wrote, "The pictures produced are as Rembrandt's but improved, so like his style & the oldest & finest masters that doubtless a great progress in Portrait painting & effect must be the consequence."〔As cited in Daniel, Malcom (2004). ''Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History''.〕
==Free Church of Scotland==
Hill was present at the Disruption Assembly in 1843 when over 450 ministers walked out of the Church of Scotland assembly and down to another assembly hall to found the Free Church of Scotland. He decided to record the dramatic scene with the encouragement of his friend Lord Cockburn and another spectator, the physicist Sir David Brewster who suggested using the new invention, photography, to get likenesses of all the ministers present. Brewster was himself experimenting with this technology which only dated back to 1839, and he introduced Hill to another enthusiast, Robert Adamson. Hill & Adamson took a series of photographs of those who had been present and of the setting. The 5-foot x 11-foot 4 inches (1.53m x 3.45m) painting was eventually completed in 1866.〔Michaelson, Katherine (1970). ''Scottish Arts Council''〕
