EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the mysterious depths of Edinburgh Castle. Titled "Dungeons in the Castle below Queen Mary's Room" this illustration from Cassells Old and New Edinburgh by James Grant, circa 1900, transports us to a world shrouded in darkness and intrigue. As we peer into the image, we are immediately struck by the eerie atmosphere that surrounds these underground chambers. The steps leading down seem worn with age, hinting at countless footsteps that have traversed them over centuries past. The airless space feels heavy with history, as if it holds secrets waiting to be discovered. The dungeon doorways stand ominously along the walls, their sinister presence sending chills down our spines. It is easy to imagine prisoners once confined within these cold stone walls, their voices echoing through the corridors. Despite its newness at the time of creation, this illustration captures an old world charm that speaks volumes about Scottish history. The derelict nature of these dungeons adds a sense of abandonment and decay to an already haunting scene. Queen Mary's Room above seems worlds away from this subterranean realm; however, it is precisely this contrast between light and dark that makes this print so compelling. It serves as a reminder that even within grand castles like Edinburgh's lies hidden depths filled with untold stories. With its intricate details and masterful execution by English School artists from the 19th century, this print invites us on a journey through time
