EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 34 - Edinburgh: A Chance Encounter of Two Distinguished Churchmen This evocative photograph captures a moment in time as two esteemed figures of Scottish history, the Reverend Thomas Chalmers (1780-1847) and the Reverend Principal John Lee (1779-1859), engage in a conversation during an unhurried stroll through the historic streets of Edinburgh. The image, taken from the 'Modern Athenians' series, transports us back to the mid-19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of these influential men. Thomas Chalmers, a Scottish mathematician and a leader of the Free Church of Scotland, is seen poised in his antiquated clerical attire, his gaze fixed on his companion. John Lee, a British academic, polymath, and principal of the University of Edinburgh from 1840 to 1859, is dressed in the fashionable clothing of the era, his expression thoughtful as he listens intently to Chalmers. The setting, the cobblestone streets of Edinburgh, adds to the historical atmosphere, with its old-world charm and architectural grandeur. The city's rich history is reflected in the background, as the two men continue their leisurely walk, their conversation no doubt touching upon matters of faith, academia, and the future of Scotland. This photograph, taken from the 'Modern Athenians' series, is a testament to the enduring legacy of these two influential figures and the significant role they played in shaping the intellectual and religious landscape of their time. The antiquated costumes, the historic setting, and the chance encounter between these two men serve as a reminder of the intriguing stories that lie hidden within the annals of history.
