EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Modern Athenians Plate 4 - Edinburgh,' is a fascinating glimpse into the historical past of Scotland, specifically featuring two prominent figures of the time: Robert Thompson (c.1790-1857), Sheriff of Caithness, and Robert Hunter (1791-1871), Sheriff of Bute and Dumbarton. The two men, often seen together due to their Parliamentary advocacy work, are depicted in this print walking side by side, with Thompson poised slightly ahead. The year is 1839, and both men are dressed in the formal attire of the time, reflecting their high social status. Thompson wears a long, dark coat with a white cravat, while Hunter dons a similar outfit with a light-colored waistcoat. Both men carry canes and wear top hats, adding to their distinguished appearance. The setting of the print is Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, which was a hub of political activity during this period. The two sheriffs, as influential figures in Scottish society, would have been regular visitors to the city for Parliamentary business. The artists' decision to depict Thompson leading the way, rather than the two men facing each other, adds an intriguing dynamic to the image. It suggests a sense of camaraderie and unity between the two men, as they move forward together through the bustling streets of Edinburgh. This beautiful print, from the 'Modern Athenians' series, offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to witness the daily lives of influential figures in Scottish history. With its rich details and historical significance, it is a must-have for any collection focused on Scottish history or the history of Parliamentary advocacy.
