Sitters include James Nasmyth, Sir John Gladstone, Alexander Monro, and Lady Elizabeth Rigby Eastlake. The Gernsheim Collection also includes the Hill & Adamson Collection, comprised of 125 items (122 photographic prints, 2 oil paintings, 1 lithograph) which is cataloged separately.

Hill, which is cataloged separately (call no. f TR 680 E44 HRC-P).
