process using plates prepared from photographic negatives. The
image is taken from the marble replica of Chantrey's bust made
in 1828, for which Scott gave additional sittings and which Lockhart
felt possessed 'the character of a second original' (Memoirs
of the Life of Sir Walter Scott, Bart. (Edinburgh:
R. Cadell, 1837-38), VII, 429). |
