EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 23 - Edinburgh: A Serious Encounter of Faiths in Old Town Edinburgh, Scotland, 1847 This evocative image, captured in the heart of Old Town Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1847, showcases a significant moment between two prominent figures of the Episcopal Church in Edinburgh during the mid-19th century. The Reverend John Ferguson (d.1854), a serious-faced clergyman of St. Peters Episcopal Chapel, is seen approaching the Right Reverend Charles H. Terrot (1790-1872), the Episcopal Bishop of Edinburgh. Ferguson, dressed in the antiquated costume of the time, walks with a poised gait, his expression unyielding and focused. The Bishop Terrot, with a warm and welcoming smile, extends a hand in greeting, creating a stark contrast between the two men. The atmosphere is one of history unfolding before our eyes, a testament to the faith and traditions that shaped the lives of these men and their community. The Modern Athenians series, from which this image is taken, captures the essence of Edinburgh's rich history and the people who shaped it. The series, produced in the mid-19th century, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of the city and its inhabitants during a time of great change. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of preserving the stories and traditions that have shaped our past. The image of Reverend Ferguson and Bishop Terrot, with their contrasting expressions, serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and nuances of human interaction and the role of faith in our lives.
