A Photographer's Experiment: Rephotographing Charles Piazzi Smyth in Tenerife - José A. Betancourt

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.
