Preface signed by J.R. Findlay.
Hatton (or Haltoun) House near Ratho, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, was a Scottish baronial mansion. It was demolished in 1955.
With 18 woodburytypes, sizes between 225 x 150 mm and 110 x 95 mmm,  mounted on card with printed captions, taken from photographs of Hatton House and grounds, probably taken in 1875, showing mostly exterior views, with interiors of the drawing room and study, and images of the pargeted ceilings. Some views include an unidentified woman and children.
Photographs possibly taken by John Annan, the lesser known brother of Scottish photographer Thomas Annan. John Annan worked in Edinburgh between 1869 and 1890. He was an active member of the Edinburgh Photographic Society and attended an outdoor meeting of the Society at Hatton House in 1875 "at ... which good photographic work was done." (Source: The British Journal of Photography (November 10, 1876), 588.) He also was known for his architectural photography. "The Castles and Mansions of the Lothians" by John Small includes 103 photographs by Annan. (Source: The British Journal of Photography (March 23, 1883), 163.).
In April 1877 a 'Postscript' of pp. 37*-41* was printed, and some copies have that inserted.
