EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 15 of the Modern Athenians series, featuring a captivating image of Sir James Gibson-Craig (1782-1850) and Sir Thomas Dick-Lauder (1777-1848) in the heart of Edinburgh. These two distinguished baronets, both prominent figures in Edinburgh society, are depicted in a warm and friendly conversation, showcasing the camaraderie and familiarity that existed between them. The year is 1839, and the location is not specified, but the image evokes a sense of the bustling and vibrant city life of Edinburgh during this period. Sir James Gibson-Craig, the 5th Baronet of Gifford, was a respected lawyer and a member of the Scottish bar. He was known for his extensive knowledge of Scottish history and antiquities, and was a founding member of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. Sir Thomas Dick-Lauder, the 11th Baronet of Fountainhall, was a prominent figure in Edinburgh's legal and political circles. He served as Lord Provost of Edinburgh from 1824 to 1827 and was a member of the Scottish Parliament. The image captures the two men in their formal attire, with Gibson-Craig wearing a dark suit and Dick-Lauder in a light-colored coat and cravat. The background shows the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh's streets, with people going about their daily business and carriages passing by. The atmosphere is lively and engaging, and the image offers a glimpse into the social fabric of Edinburgh during this period. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Edinburgh and the influential figures who shaped its society. It is a reminder of the importance of conversation and camaraderie in building and maintaining strong relationships, even in the face of the challenges and complexities of the modern world. The image is a must-have for any collection of Scottish history or Edinburgh memorabilia.
