Newhaven Fishwives, Jeanie Wilson and Annie Linton, 1845. Creator: David Octavius Hill (British
Newhaven Fishwives, Jeanie Wilson and Annie Linton, 1845. Hill and Adamsons four-year collaboration yielded around 3, 000 photographs, including portraits of members of the middle and upper classes and, in what may be the first social documentary project, of the working class. Included in their survey of contemporary life were numerous portraits of the fishermens wives in the villages around Edinburgh. The women, garbed in distinctive striped skirts and aprons, cleaned their husbands catch, then carried it in wicker baskets to the city where they offered it for sale. They were reported to be hard bargainers. Hill and Adamson respectfully recorded not only their likenesses but also their names
