In 1849 he was articled to Edinburgh architects William Burn and David Bryce. It is suggested in the Dictionary of Scottish Architects that he may have learnt photography from Bryce, though the dates in this album indicate that his photographic experiments pre-date their known professional association.Kinnear became a founding member of the Photographic Society of Scotland in 1856, and in the same year entered into partnership with Edinburgh architect John Dick Peddie. In 1857 he went on an architectural and photographic tour of northern France using a new form of camera with a conical bellows which 'set the pattern for nearly all subsequent cameras' (Schaaf & Taylor). His final public exhibition of photographs was in 1864, after which his architectural work absorbed most of his efforts; the firm of Peddie & Kinnear had become hugely successful, securing major commissions for private houses, public buildings and churches throughout Scotland which remain major landmarks to this day, including Edinburgh's Cockburn Street, and the hydropathics at Dunblane, Craiglockhart and Callander. He was elected associate of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1893, and died suddenly at his offices in Edinburgh in 1894.A full list of the contents of the main album in this lot is available on request. Lot 57 in the sale, the Kinnear family autograph album, contains letters to C. G. H. Kinnear from various figures including Fox Talbot.Further reading: Schaaf & Taylor, Impressed by Light: British Photographs from Paper Negatives, 1840-1860 (2007), p. 338.Provenance: Inherited by the vendor from Elizabeth Hay (née Kinnear, 1924-2017), descendant of C.
