EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Edinburgh during the Victorian era. The image showcases a breathtaking view of Princes Street, one of the most iconic and bustling thoroughfares in Scotland's capital. From atop Calton Hill, we are treated to a panoramic vista that stretches far beyond our sight. In the foreground stands Calton Jail, an imposing structure that adds an intriguing element to this historic scene. Its formidable presence serves as a reminder of Edinburgh's rich and complex past, where tales of crime and punishment intertwine with the city's vibrant cultural heritage. The photograph captures the essence of Victorian Scotland perfectly - from the elegant architecture lining Princes Street to the bustling activity below. One can almost imagine horse-drawn carriages traversing its cobbled streets while elegantly dressed pedestrians go about their daily routines. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to be transported back over a century ago. We find ourselves immersed in an era defined by progress, innovation, and societal change - all encapsulated within this single frame. Preserved by The Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland, this remarkable print offers us a glimpse into Edinburgh's past like never before. It allows us to appreciate both its architectural splendor and its historical significance – reminding us why this ancient city continues to captivate visitors from around the world today.
