James Craig Annan

Printmaking

James Craig Annan was a Scottish photographer and printmaker renowned for his carbon and platinum prints of landscapes, architecture, and portraits made between the 1880s and 1920s. Working primarily in Scotland, he was instrumental in establishing photography as a fine art medium during the pictorialist movement. His technical mastery of printing processes and his attention to tonal subtlety distinguished his work from commercial photography of the period. Annan's prints are held in major collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum.
