The great outdoors
We're being outdoorsey this week on Sepia Saturday. Whether the two participants in the photograph intend to go for a bracing walk or are merely doing a little gentle sightseeing is unclear, but it's a nicely composed image.
This is from the same group of photographs as the picnic party and the tennis enthusiasts. The board-mounted photograph measures142mm x 97mm; Chapelgill, Nov. 1892 is written on the reverse. Google reveals that the location probably refers to Chapelgill Hill in Scotland, a popular venue for present-day walkers.

It looks like a nice spot for a little gentle sightseeing.
An artful photograph but what connects this view of Scotland to the location with the palm tree? Could it be one of those travel writer/photographers? The ladies' dresses and cloaks must have been challenging on a walk.
Great to have the large view - looks like a lovely setting to sit and talk.
That's a very nice composed, and rather unusual, scenic cabinet card. I judge from the clothing that it was taken around the turn of the century, and it's very likely that a dry-plate camera was used.
