1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: John Knox House and Temperance Hotel on Edinburgh's Royal Mile 2. Subtitle: A Vintage Lantern Slide Capturing the History and Charm of Edinburgh's Old Town 3. Description: This vintage lantern slide, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Edinburgh's Old Town. The image features two iconic landmarks: John Knox House and the Temperance Hotel, both situated on the Royal Mile. John Knox House, the historic building on the left, is a significant part of Scotland's Reformation history. It was the residence of the famous Scottish Reformer, John Knox, during the late 16th century. Knox played a pivotal role in the Scottish Reformation, advocating for religious and political change. Today, the house stands as a museum, providing visitors with a unique insight into Scotland's religious past. The Temperance Hotel, located on the right, is an Edwardian-era building that once catered to the needs of travelers seeking a sober accommodation option. The Temperance movement, which advocated for the reduction of alcohol consumption, gained popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Temperance Hotel was a reflection of this social trend, offering a dry alternative to traditional inns and hotels. The lantern slide, with its intricate details and warm, nostalgic tones, transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the charm and history of these two iconic buildings on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. This image is not only a testament to the rich history of Edinburgh but also a reminder of the social and cultural changes that shaped Scotland during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
