Additional Details



Rev. Monod was the founder of the Free French Reformed Church. This portrait was used as a study for Hill's painting "The First General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, Signing the Act of Separation and Deed of Demission, at Tanfield, Edinburgh, May 1843." The caption is in an unidentifed period hand, which appears on other prints by Hill and Adamson.
