Can anyone throw any light on the poet's suggestion in her poem Expulsion that different printings of the photograph suggest different interpretations of it? The poem and the photo are below. Thank you.
"Thank you, Ashleigh. I wonder why the poet dated the photo to 1858?

"Thank you for the info on GWW - I'm curious as to why the poet should date the Prince's St stereo view to 1858."
"Thanks very much Michael - greatly appreciated.

In his book Camera Obscura, the poet Robin Robertson describes a photograph of Princes Street taken in 1858 by GWW as 'The first snapshot' - is it a real photograph or purely imagined by the poet? Help appreciated.
A friend showed me a photo said to be from Mesopotamia - does anyone recognise the monogram?
