In September 1905 Coburn took a break from the portrait project he was pursuing in London and visited J. Craig Annan in Edinburgh. There, he saw not only Annan\u2019s work but also photographs by the pioneering painter/photographer team of David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson\u2014portraits and city views taken in 1840s Edinburgh and originally printed in shades of ruddy brown with strong contrasts of light and shadow, an aesthetic echoed in Weir\u2019s Close. In his 1966 autobiography, Coburn recalled another influence on such pictures: Robert Louis Stevenson\u2019s Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes (1879). "For over fifty years I have followed lovingly in his footsteps, endeavouring to see it as I thought he saw it."Free picture Weirs Close - Edinburgh integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
