A
salt print, dated
c. 1844, of three men,
James Ballantine, George Bell and
David Octavius Hill, drinking
Edinburgh ale. A contemporary source described the brew as "a potent fluid, which almost glued the lips of the drinker together, and of which few, therefore, could dispatch more than a bottle."Photograph:
