Step back in time at Waverly, Edinburgh's historic railway station in this enchanting black-and-white image from the Victorian era. As Miss Flora disembarks, she takes in the picturesque views of Scotland's capital, unaware of the momentous changes ahead. Meanwhile, in a different part of the world, an African American congregation gathers in front of Abyssinian Baptist Church in Chicago, 1907, their faith unwavering amidst societal challenges. Back in Scotland, Sir John Anderson, Secretary of State for the Home Department, ponders important matters at Waverly Court, Camberley, England. Elsewhere, Homer's 'Waverly Oaks' painting from 1864 captures the essence of tranquility, while a bank vault holds the secrets of the past. Two worlds, two eras, connected by the name Waverly.
