EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Edinburgh in 1886. The view from The Burns Monument on Calton Hill offers a breathtaking panorama of this historic Scottish capital. From this vantage point, we can see the majestic craggs and Arthur's Seat, standing tall against the sky. The image captures Holyrood Palace nestled amidst the hillside, adding a touch of regality to the landscape. As our eyes wander further, an aerial view reveals the sprawling cityscape with its intricate architecture and bustling streets below. Intriguingly, scattered throughout this picturesque scene are sightseers who have come to marvel at Edinburgh's beauty. Their presence reminds us that even over a century ago, people were drawn to this remarkable city for its rich history and stunning vistas. This print is part of Samuel G. Green's "Scottish Pictures Drawn with Pen and Pencil" which sought to capture Scotland's natural wonders through detailed illustrations. Published in 1886, it serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we cannot help but be transported back in time - imagining what life was like during that era while appreciating how much has changed since then. It is truly a testament to Edinburgh's enduring allure that continues to captivate visitors today.
