In addition to portraits, David Hill and Robert Adamson also made numerous tableaux vivant. In this photograph, the sculptor John Henning appears as Edie Ochiltree, a fictional character from Sir Walter Scott's novel *The Antiquary*. With staff and badge indicating his beggar status, the white-haired Henning closely resembles the figure of Ochiltree as Scott described him.
