EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 30 of the Modern Athenians series, captured in Edinburgh around 1847, presents an intriguing snapshot of two historical figures - Mr Robert Hadley and Mr George Dunlop. Hadley, depicted as a robust stagecoach driver, holds a whip in his right hand, ready to urge his horses forward. His expression is focused and determined, reflecting the demands of his profession. In contrast, Mr Dunlop, dressed in fashionable attire, leisurely smokes a cigar as he stands on the sidewalk, seemingly unperturbed by the passing stagecoach. The cigar, a symbol of affluence and sophistication during that era, adds to his distinguished appearance. The backdrop of the image is the picturesque D River, flowing gently through the heart of Edinburgh. The cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and the old-world charm of the city are beautifully captured, offering a glimpse into the past. The encounter between Hadley and Dunlop is a poignant reminder of the contrasting lives that coexisted in Edinburgh during the 19th century. While Hadley represents the working class, toiling away to make ends meet, Dunlop embodies the privileged elite, enjoying the finer things in life. This image, featuring Robert Hadley and George Dunlop, is a testament to the rich history of Edinburgh and the diverse lives of its inhabitants during the 1800s.
