b. 1846; d. 26 Aug 1913
Anderson was an Opthalmic surgeon whose spare time interests included photography.
He made his own camera equipment, and enthusiastically promoted the use
of photography in geology. Whilst working as a lecturer on volcanoes, he
took many photographs of glaciers and mountains, some of which gained awards.
One of his concerns, evident in his work, was for human suffering arising
from volcanic and other disasters.
Some of his work is stored in the Yorkshire Museum.
