Now, however, an archive of photographs taken by the pioneering photographer Margaret Watkins are at the centre of a new exhibition in Glasgow, where she was based.
Watkins, born in Ontario in Canada in 1884, learned photography in the US but moved to Glasgow to get away from her home in New York, staying with an aunt in Westbourne Gardens, in the city's west end.
