EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of the commemoration at Edinburgh, marking the tercentenary of the university's foundation. The image is divided into four distinct scenes, each showcasing a different aspect of this momentous event. In the first scene, we find ourselves in the United Presbyterian Hall, where honorary degrees in Divinity and Law are being conferred upon distinguished individuals. The solemnity and prestige of this occasion are palpable as scholars gather to receive their well-deserved recognition. Moving on to Waterloo Place, we witness a vibrant torchlight procession led by enthusiastic students. Their fervor illuminates the night sky, symbolizing their dedication to education and celebrating three centuries of academic excellence. The third scene transports us to the Theatre Royal, where students showcase their dramatic talents with an enthralling performance from "The King o Scots". The stage comes alive with theatrical brilliance as actors bring history to life before an enthralled audience. Finally, we enter the Hall of University Library for a conversazione – a gathering filled with intellectual exchange and cultural appreciation. This elegant setting serves as a backdrop for engaging discussions among scholars while surrounded by books that hold centuries' worth of knowledge. Through this beautifully engraved image from Liszt Collection's archive, we catch a glimpse into Edinburgh's rich educational heritage. Its vintage charm evokes nostalgia for Victorian-era arts and culture while reminding us of our enduring pursuit of knowledge within these hallowed institutions.
