EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Heriots Hospital, as seen from the Castle Hill in Edinburgh. Engraved by the talented William Watkins around 1830, this piece of art beautifully captures the grandeur of this historic landmark. Heriots Hospital, founded by George Heriot in the early 17th century, is a testament to Scottish Renaissance architecture. The intricate details and imposing structure are brought to life through Watkins' skilled engraving technique. The viewer is transported back in time to witness a panoramic view of this iconic building that has stood tall for centuries. The image not only highlights the architectural brilliance but also offers a glimpse into the bustling cityscape of Edinburgh. From its elevated position on Castle Hill, one can observe the vibrant streets below and imagine what life was like during that era. Thomas Hosmer Shepherd's original artwork serves as inspiration for this engraving, capturing every minute detail with precision. This particular print is part of a private collection and holds historical significance due to its depiction of an important institution within Scotland's educational history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of Edinburgh's rich heritage and how it continues to captivate us with its timeless beauty.
