EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the historical charm of Edinburgh's New Town. The print showcases a section of this bustling city from its northwest perspective, capturing the essence of Scotland's capital during that era. The intricate details and precision in Shepherd's work transport us to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets and grand Georgian architecture dominated the skyline. The elegant buildings with their uniform facades stand as testament to the planned development and architectural vision behind Edinburgh's New Town. As we explore this scene, we can almost hear the echoes of footsteps on these historic streets and imagine residents going about their daily lives. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone but preserved through art. Shepherd's engraving was originally created as an illustration for "Modern Athens" a series showcasing views of Edinburgh in the 19th century. This particular piece captures not only the physical landscape but also provides insight into the social fabric and cultural heritage that shaped this vibrant city. Through this print, we are reminded of how history continues to shape our present-day experiences, making it all the more important to appreciate and preserve such glimpses into our past.
