Although originals of these 20 rare Glasgow photographs are very difficult to find, you can now get them on a cd-rom prepared from original 19th century items held in a private collection.

This cd-rom isn't mass produced but is compiled individually and personally for each purchaser so few copies exist.  You can get one of them here.

This collection of photographs in and around Glasgow was published in the mid 1890s.  Original copies of these historic photographs are now difficult to find.
