> The fisherwomen of Newhaven, Scotland were noted for their natural beauty and picturesque costumes. Writing in her journal in August 1843, [Elizabeth Rigby](https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/39804/hill-adamson-miss-elizabeth-rigby-1844-1845/) (1809-93) described one of the fishwives as "with as heavy a load of petticoats as of fish: a lovely blooming creature, with a complexion of that transparent kind of which our aristocracy are most proud. . . . She was laden with clothes, petticoat over petticoat, striped and whole colour, all of the thickest woollen material." > > Adapted from Anne M. Lyden. *Hill and Adamson*, In Focus: Photographs from the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles: J. Paul Getty Museum, 1999), 74. ©1999, J. Paul Getty Museum.
