Catalogue Note
The interior study offered here was published in Strand's photographic portrait of Scotland's Outer Hebrides, Tir a'Mhurain, with accompanying text by Basil Davidson. The third of Strand's volumes devoted to foreign lands and peoples, Tir a'Mhurain depicts the proud but dying Gaelic culture of the Hebrides, with its language and traditions under threat from the modern world. The book was first published in 1962, in Dresden by Verlag der Kunst and in London by MacGibbon and Kee.
As photograph offered here comes originally from the collection of Dr. Erich Frommhold of Verlag der Kunst; it is possible that this is the very print reproduced in the publication.
