EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, plate 43 from the Modern Athenians series, showcases an intriguing encounter between two notable figures of Scottish history: Archdeacon John Williams (1792-1858) and Rev. Thomas George Spink Suther (1814-1883). The image, taken in Edinburgh around 1849, captures the essence of a bygone era, with both men dressed in the ornate costumes of the time. Archdeacon Williams, a close friend of Sir Walter Scott, was a prominent churchman and scholar, known for his contributions to the Scottish Episcopal Church. His warm and welcoming demeanor is evident in this portrait, as he extends a hand in greeting to Rev. Suther. Rev. Suther, later to become the Scottish Episcopalian bishop of Aberdeen from 1857-1865, is depicted with a thoughtful expression, perhaps pondering the weighty responsibilities that lay ahead of him. The men's contrasting ages and positions in the church add an intriguing dynamic to the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Scotland during the mid-19th century, a time of change and transition within the Episcopal Church. The meeting between these two influential figures underscores the importance of friendship and camaraderie in the face of adversity and the passage of time. The Modern Athenians series, which includes this photograph, was a groundbreaking collection of portraits that captured the likenesses of many prominent figures of the day. This image, in particular, stands out for its evocative portrayal of two men whose lives intersected in the annals of Scottish history.
