EDITORS COMMENTS
John Knox's House: A Glance into the Past through an Architectural Etching John Knox's House, an architectural gem nestled in the heart of Edinburgh, Scotland, stands as a testament to the rich history of the Scottish Reformation. Built in the late 15th century, around 1490, this historic structure has been meticulously preserved and now serves as a museum and part of the Scottish Storytelling Centre. In this etching from circa 1918, we are granted a unique perspective of John Knox's House, which was the residence of the influential Scottish minister, writer, and founder of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. The etching, produced in black and white, showcases the intricate details of the house's exterior, with its distinctive gabled windows, ornate stonework, and the grand chimneys that once belched smoke into the Edinburgh skyline. John Knox, a pivotal figure in Scottish history, lived in this house from 1554 until his death in 1572. His theological teachings and political activism significantly influenced the religious and social landscape of Scotland. The house, now a museum, offers visitors a glimpse into the life of this influential figure and the era in which he lived. This etching, from the April volume of a colour magazine, is a rare and beautiful reminder of the past. It invites us to explore the stories of John Knox and the history of Scotland, which continue to resonate with us today. The house, a living piece of history, stands proudly as a reminder of the past and a beacon of the rich cultural heritage that Edinburgh and Scotland have to offer.
