EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled Plate 9 - Edinburgh from the series 'Modern Athenians' by an unknown photographer, transports us back to the bustling streets of Edinburgh in 1839. The photograph features two prominent figures of the city: Robert Thompson (d. 1843) and Alexander Douglas (d. 1851). Thompson, a portly man with a distinguished air, was an importer of Irish linen, while Douglas, equally stout, was a Commissioner of Police, a director of the Water Company, and a devoted supporter of the Church of Scotland. The men's robust appearances and purposeful strides convey a sense of energy and determination that was characteristic of Edinburgh's influential citizens during this era. Thompson, dressed in a fashionable coat and top hat, carries a cane, while Douglas, wearing a heavy overcoat and a bowler hat, clutches a pair of gloves. Their animated conversation suggests a deep connection, perhaps forged through their shared commitment to the city and its community. Edinburgh in the 1830s was a thriving metropolis, teeming with industry and innovation. The city's streets were alive with the sounds of horse-drawn carriages, the chatter of vendors, and the clatter of construction sites. The Modern Athenians series offers a glimpse into this vibrant world, capturing the essence of Edinburgh's influential figures and their daily lives. This evocative photograph, with its rich historical context and intriguing subject matter, invites us to explore the past and appreciate the enduring legacy of these two remarkable men and the city they called home.
