介绍（中）	大卫·布鲁斯特爵士是苏格兰圣安德鲁斯大学的著名物理学家，他是塔尔博特的科学通讯员之一，也是最早收到新艺术报告和样本的人之一。到1841年，布鲁斯特和他的同事、学院博物馆馆长兼化学教授约翰·亚当森（John Adamson）正在进行热量法实验；第二年，为了响应塔尔博特的希望，苏格兰有人可能会被说服作为专业打字员的竞争对手来练习他的过程，他们向亚当森的弟弟罗伯特传授了纸质摄影技术 1843年5月，21岁的亚当森（Adamson）成为爱丁堡第一位职业热打字员，仅仅几周后，布鲁斯特就看到了一个机会，让当地著名画家D.O.希尔（D.O.Hill）为纪念苏格兰自由教会（Free Church of Scotland）最近的成立，准备绘制一幅大型历史画布。布鲁斯特在写给塔尔博特的信中写道："我找到了这位艺术家，他向他展示了卡尔奥型字体，以及在所有主要人物被分散到各自的家中之前，他可能从中获得的巨大优势。起初，他并不相信，但他去找了亚当森先生，并与他安排了获取所有必要肖像的准备工作。"。几周之内，希尔就被完全说服了，两人正紧密合作。
介绍（英）	An eminent physicist at St. Andrews University in Scotland, Sir David Brewster was among Talbot's scientific correspondents and one of the first to receive reports and samples of the new art. By 1841 Brewster and his colleague John Adamson, curator of the College Museum and professor of chemistry, were experimenting with the calotype process; the following year, in response to Talbot's hope that someone in Scotland might be persuaded to practice his process as a competitor to professional daguerreotypists, they instructed Adamson's younger brother, Robert, in the techniques of paper photography. Just weeks after the twenty-one-year-old Adamson had established himself as Edinburgh's first professional calotypist in May 1843, Brewster saw an opportunity to send business his way as the locally prominent painter D. O. Hill prepared to paint a large historical canvas commemorating the recent establishment of the Free Church of Scotland. "I got hold of the artist," Brewster wrote to Talbot, "showed him the Calotype, & the eminent advantage he might derive from it in getting likenesses of all the principal characters before they were dispersed to their respective homes. He was at first incredulous, but went to Mr. Adamson, and arranged with him preliminaries for getting all the necessary portraits." Within weeks Hill was completely won over, and the two were working seamlessly in partnership.
