EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 48: A Historic Encounter in Edinburgh's City Chambers - Charles Cuningham, City Clerk, and Adam Black, Twice Lord Provost of Edinburgh and Publisher This evocative image, Plate 48 from the 'Modern Athenians' series, captures a significant moment in Edinburgh's history. The scene is set within the grandeur of the City Chambers, where Charles Cuningham, City Clerk, and Adam Black, twice Lord Provost of Edinburgh and renowned publisher, meet in deep conversation. Adam Black (1784-1874), an influential figure in Edinburgh's intellectual and cultural circles, is best known for his role as the founder and proprietor of A & C Black, a publishing company that would go on to publish the 7th, 8th, and 9th editions of the esteemed Encyclopedia Britannica. Born in Edinburgh, Black's publishing career began in 1807 when he established a small printing business. Over the years, he expanded his business, eventually merging it with that of his brother-in-law, Charles Black, to form A & C Black. Charles Cuningham (1813-1886), a respected figure in his own right, served as City Clerk of Edinburgh from 1848 to 1886. This position, which he held for over three decades, made him a central figure in the city's governance and administration. The meeting between these two Edinburgh notables is a testament to the vibrant intellectual and cultural life of the city during this period. Their conversation, the subject of much speculation, may have touched upon the Encyclopedia Britannica, the city's governance, or any number of topics that would have been of interest to these two influential men. This image, with its rich historical significance, offers a glimpse into Edinburgh's past and the important roles played by its citizens in shaping the world of knowledge and learning.
