Thomas Annan (1829-1887), who lived most of his life in Glasgow, trained and worked as a copperplate engraver until 1853, when he started a calotype printing business, probably with the encouragement of his friend David Octavius Hill. In 1857 he established a photographic studio, T. & R. Annan located in Sauchiehall Street from which he produced portraits, photographic reproductions of works of art and architectural photographs. Annan acquired the Scottish rights to the carbon print process shortly after its invention by Joseph Wilson Swan in 1866. He first used this process commercially to reproduce D. O. Hill's painting the Signing of the Deed of Demission. An astute businessman, Annan also acquired the British patent rights in the 'heliogravure' or photogravure process invented by William Henry Fox Talbot and developed by Karel Klic.
