EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Edinburgh from the West, in the Time of David Hume" transports us back to 1750, offering a glimpse into the Scottish capital during the era of renowned philosopher David Hume. Created by Paul Sandby in 1943, this view showcases Edinburgh's majestic skyline featuring its iconic landmarks: Edinburgh Castle and Arthur's Seat. The castle stands proudly atop a hill, exuding strength and history, while Arthur's Seat provides a picturesque backdrop with its rolling hills. David Hume, an influential figure of the Scottish Enlightenment movement, is immortalized through this image as we imagine him strolling through these very streets centuries ago. As we observe this cityscape engraving with its vibrant colors and meticulous details, it becomes evident that Sandby skillfully captured both the architectural beauty and natural splendor of Edinburgh. The print itself is part of Kenneth Matthews' book "British Philosophers" published by Collins in London in 1943. It serves as not only a visual representation but also a historical artifact that allows us to delve into Scotland's past during the mid-18th century. With its rich social history intertwined with breathtaking geography, this print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in British culture and appreciate both the artistic talent of Paul Sandby and the intellectual legacy left behind by figures like David Hume.
