EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 8 - Edinburgh: A Chance Encounter of Two Epochs In this evocative image from the Modern Athenians series by John Irvine, we find ourselves in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, where time seems to have stood still. The creeping figure of John Irvine (d. 1839), described by his contemporaries as a 'creeping figure, of too solid flesh, so sadly restricted in locomotion,' is poised for a moment of contemplation, his gaze fixed on an unseen object. His antiquated costume, with its voluminous trousers and high-waisted jacket, adds to the sense of an earlier age. Facing Irvine is Captain Hugo Arnot (d. 1838), a man of whom little is known, save for his eye-catching check or possibly tartan suit. The captain's costume, with its bold, contrasting patterns, stands out against the muted tones of Irvine's attire, highlighting the juxtaposition of the old and the new. Arnot's confident, poised demeanor contrasts sharply with Irvine's slow, deliberate movements, creating a sense of tension and intrigue. The historical backdrop of Edinburgh's Old Town adds to the richness of the scene, with its narrow streets, ancient buildings, and bustling crowds. The modern world is encroaching, but for a moment, Irvine and Arnot exist in a world of their own, their chance encounter a reminder of the past in the midst of the present. This image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to pause and reflect on the passage of time and the enduring power of history.
