Ailsa
Sir David Young Cameron British, Scottish
Not on view
A view of a ship on still water with two sailboats and the Ailsa Craig in the distance. Ailsa Craig is a two hundred and forty acre island about ten miles from mainland Scotland. Sometimes referred to as "Paddy's Milestone," the it is the approximate halfway point, if traveling by sea, between Belfast and Glasgow.
The Clyde Set included 20 subjects. Some trial impressions were printed at Messrs, Maclure, Macdonald & Co., Glasgow, these being signed in pencil 'D.Y. Cameron' in the lower right corner. The plates were then sent to F. Goulding, London, who after steel-facing them, printed the edition of about 22 sets, published in 1890 by Messrs. E. & E. Silva White, Glasgow. These impressions are signed in pencil 'D.Y. Cameron' to left, 'F. Goulding, Imp.' to right. [Source: Rinder, p. 14]
