EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 14 of the Modern Athenians series by Adam Duff, depicts an intriguing encounter between two prominent legal gentlemen of Edinburgh in the year 1840. The image captures the Sheriff of Midlothian, Adam Duff (d. 1840), a confirmed Tory, and The Hon. Henry, Lord Cockburn (1779-1854), a man known for his Whig sentiments, engaged in a leisurely walk through the historic streets of Edinburgh. Duff, dressed in an antiquated, voluminous robe and tricorn hat, is poised with a cane, while Cockburn, wearing a contemporary suit and top hat, looks intently at him. The contrast between their attire and political beliefs adds an intriguing layer to the scene, highlighting the dichotomy of tradition and progress in Edinburgh during this period. The backdrop of the image is the picturesque Old Town of Edinburgh, with its cobblestone streets, ancient buildings, and bustling crowds. The two gentlemen, despite their political differences, seem to be engaged in a friendly conversation, showcasing the spirit of camaraderie and respect for differing opinions that was prevalent in Edinburgh's legal and social circles. Adam Duff, who served as Sheriff of Midlothian, was a respected figure in Edinburgh's legal community, known for his conservative views. Lord Cockburn, on the other hand, was a prominent Whig politician and judge, who played a significant role in shaping Scotland's legal system. The encounter between these two influential figures provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and political landscape of Edinburgh during the 19th century. This plate from the Modern Athenians series, with its rich historical context and intriguing narrative, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Edinburgh, Scotland, or the legal profession.
