Printmaking
Alexander Gardner was a Scottish photographer active in the mid-19th century, known for his large-format landscape and portrait work during the early decades of the medium. Working primarily in albumen print and wet collodion processes, he documented both urban and rural subjects with a technical precision characteristic of his era. This profile will be expanded as more verified source material becomes available.
