• Notes

  An Irish doctor from Clonmel, Co. Tipperary with a wide range of interests, Hemphill experimented with the latest photographic techniques and won several prestigious awards. At a time when photography was a complex, expensive and sometimes dangerous pursuit, Hemphill was among the first to photograph in detail antiquities such as the Rock of Cashel and Holycross Abbey. A fascinating aspect of Hemphill’s work was his stereoscopic photography which he published in volumes of books.
