- Book Synopsis
- Eric Watt was a prolific amateur photographer. Active during the 1950s up until the end of the 20th century, he took many thousands of images during his 50-year span as a photographer. He was an active member of Queen's Park Camera Club in the south side of Glasgow and he traversed Scotland, giving talks at other clubs about photographic techniques. Eric's photographic legacy reveals how the cityscape has changed in the five decades in which he worked, capturing much of Glasgow's social history, its citizens and streets. Featuring black and white and colour images, the book has commentary putting the social history of Glasgow into context, alongside captions for each image.
