Princes Street
25th June 1923: Traffic and passers-by in Princes Street, Edinburgh. Princes Street, named after George IIIs sons, was designed by James Craig (c. 1740 - 95) who built hotels and shops on the north side of the street and left the south side open to slope down to public gardens. Craigs most significant achievement was his winning design for the New Town which was submitted in 1767. (Photo by Alfred Hind Robinson/A H Robinson/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Princes Street, Edinburgh on a summer day in 1923. The image captures the vibrant energy of this iconic Scottish thoroughfare, as traffic and passers-by fill the frame. Princes Street, aptly named after King George III's sons, was masterfully designed by James Craig in the late 18th century. Craig's visionary plan included hotels and shops lining the north side of the street while leaving the south side open to gracefully slope down towards public gardens. This unique architectural choice allowed for unobstructed views of Edinburgh's stunning natural landscape. However, it is Craig's crowning achievement that truly solidifies his legacy - his winning design for New Town submitted in 1767. This groundbreaking urban development project transformed Edinburgh into a modern city with its elegant Georgian architecture and carefully planned layout. Alfred Hind Robinson skillfully captured this historic moment through his lens, freezing time for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, we are transported back to an era where horse-drawn carriages shared space with pedestrians along Princes Street. This timeless piece from Fine Art Storehouse serves as a visual testament to both Scotland's rich history and Alfred Hind Robinson's artistic prowess – reminding us of our connection to the past while inspiring curiosity about what lies ahead.
