EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 29 of the Modern Athenians series, titled "Edinburgh," captures an intriguing moment in time as two prominent Scottish figures, William Burn Callender of Prestonhall and Sir Charles Gs Menteath, a Baronet of the Shire of Dumfries, engage in a leisurely stroll down the same Edinburgh street in 1847 and 1854, respectively. The antiquated costumes of the two men transport us back to a bygone era, with Callender poised in a more modern attire, while Menteath dons the traditional garb of a Scottish baronet. William Burn Callender, who passed away in 1854, was a notable figure in his own right. He is depicted in this plate with a cane and a top hat, exuding an air of sophistication and refinement. Sir Charles Gs Menteath, on the other hand, embodies the traditional Scottish nobility with his plaid kilt, sporran, and bonnet. The historical significance of this image lies in the juxtaposition of the two men, representing the transition from the old to the new. The Modern Athenians series, published between 1847 and 1851, aimed to document the changing landscape of Scotland and its people, making this plate an invaluable contribution to the historical record. The image also highlights the beauty and charm of Edinburgh's streets, with their cobblestone paths, picturesque buildings, and vibrant atmosphere. The two men, lost in their conversation, provide a sense of scale and context, allowing us to imagine the bustling city life that once thrived in this very spot. This plate invites us to reflect on the rich history of Scotland and the fascinating characters that shaped its past. The chance encounter of Callender and Menteath on this Edinburgh street serves as a reminder of the connections that bind us to our history and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
