-
Photograph of the town of Tobermory, the capital of the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. The view is a variation of RCIN 2320024 and is of the main street from across the harbour with a line of buildings set against hills in the background. Ships are moored on the water.
Tobermory derives its name from the Gaelic meaning 'Mary's Well'. This photograph is a later carbon copy which is a process that is less susceptible to light damage, unlike the original albumen photograph which was prone to fading over time.Provenance
From an album of photographs collected and arranged by Albert, Prince Consort between 1860 and 1861
