As seen here, Wilson often devised new ways to capitalise on photographs he had already taken. One example was the ‘album’ print marketed from 1863, which was derived from one half of a stereoscopic negative. The negatives measured 4 ¼ x 3 ½ inches, which meant that the resulting photographs, after enlargement, were vertical in format. A selection of album prints were used to illustrate Queen Victoria’s reminiscences of her visits to Scotland in Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands.
