EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from the 'Modern Athenians' series by Scottish artist John Jeffrey the Younger in 1839, depicts two intriguing figures, John Jeffrey the Younger and Charles Kilpatrick Sharpe, both residents of Edinburgh, Scotland, engaged in a leisurely stroll amidst the city's historic streets. The brothers, John and Francis, were renowned literary figures of their time, with John being an accomplished painter and Francis, Lord Jeffrey, a celebrated literary critic. Charles Kilpatrick Sharpe, a long-term resident of Edinburgh, is portrayed in an eccentric manner, donning an antiquated long blue surtout, which was considered outdated in the early 19th century. Sharpe's eccentricity is further emphasized by his poised umbrella, as both men prepare for the impending rain. Despite their contrasting appearances, the two men share a sense of expectation and camaraderie as they walk through the bustling streets of Edinburgh. The image captures the essence of the city's rich history and the diverse characters that inhabited it during this period. The plate, titled 'Edinburgh,' is a testament to the artistic skill of John Jeffrey the Younger, who masterfully conveys the mood and atmosphere of the scene. The use of muted colors and intricate details in the clothing and surroundings adds to the overall charm and authenticity of the image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Edinburgh was a hub of intellectual and artistic activity, and eccentricities were celebrated rather than hidden away.
