EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, part of the 'Modern Athenians' series, captures a moment in time as two esteemed Scottish architects, James Gillespie Graham (1776-1855) and Thomas Hamilton (1784-1858), cross paths on the bustling streets of Edinburgh in 1847. Both architects are dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, adding an authentic touch to this historical image. James Gillespie Graham, the elder statesman of Scottish architecture, is most renowned for his work in the Scottish Gothic style, with a notable portfolio that includes the design of country houses and churches. His poised demeanor and thoughtful expression suggest a man deeply engaged in his craft, as he ponders the architectural wonders that surround him in Edinburgh. Thomas Hamilton, a younger and equally influential figure, is also seen here, dressed in the fashionable attire of the day. Hamilton's architectural contributions to Edinburgh include the design of the Royal Exchange and the extension of the Royal Infirmary. His contemporary appearance and animated expression hint at a vibrant and engaging personality, as he exchanges pleasantries or discusses architectural ideas with his esteemed colleague. This photograph, taken in 1855, offers a unique glimpse into the lives of two of Scotland's most celebrated architects, as they go about their daily business in the heart of Edinburgh. The image is a testament to the rich architectural history of Scotland and the enduring influence of the Scottish Gothic style.
