EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 26 of the Modern Athenians series captures a significant moment in Edinburgh's legal history, featuring Thomas Maitland, Lord Dundrennan (1792-1851) and Adam, Lord Anderson of Kimmerghame (1797-1853). Both men were prominent figures in Scottish law during the mid-19th century. Lord Dundrennan, dressed in the antiquated costume of a Scottish judge, is poised to greet Lord Anderson, who is depicted as a solicitor-general and Dean of Faculty. Anderson, dressed in the more modern attire of a solicitor, walks towards Dundrennan with a determined expression. The image, taken in 1847, highlights the contrast between the traditional and the modern in Scottish legal circles. Dundrennan, born in 1792, represented the old guard, while Anderson, born in 1797, represented the new. Both men, however, shared a commitment to upholding the law and serving their community. Thomas Maitland, 1st Lord Dundrennan, was a Scottish lawyer and judge who served as a Lord Commissioner of Justiciary and Lord Advocate. He was known for his strong moral character and his dedication to the law. Adam, Lord Anderson of Kimmerghame, was a solicitor-general, Dean of Faculty, and judge. He was a respected figure in Scottish legal circles and played a key role in the reform of Scottish criminal law. This photograph is a valuable historical record of two important figures in Scottish legal history, captured in a moment of interaction. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the people and practices that shaped Scotland's legal system during the 19th century.
