On June 24, 1856, Charles Piazzi Smyth, Astronomer Royal of Scotland, set sail on the ship Titania. He traveled to the Canary Islands with a crew of sixteen men and equipment to view the skies above the clouds. CPS was not only an astronomer, he was also a photographer. Revisiting this expedition and its photographs attempts to shed light on this story and Betancourt's family history on Tenerife.
 
Please join José Betancourt as he gives a talk in affiliation with his exhibition A Photographer's Experiment: Rephotographing Charles Piazzi Smyth in Tenerife currently on display at the UAH Wilson Hall Gallery. 
 
Talk will be held on Wednesday, February 28th at the CAHS Lowe Mill A&E Project Space, Studio 1047, from 5:30pm - 6:30pm.
