EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from Plate 20 of the 'Modern Athenians' series, showcases a historic encounter between two notable figures of the 19th century: Mr. Alexander Kidston (1762-1850) and Mr. John Jardine (1777-1850), on the bustling streets of Edinburgh. Both men are poised for a conversation, with Mr. Kidston, dressed in an antiquated costume, approaching Mr. Jardine, who served as Sheriff of Ross and Cromarty at the time. The year is 1850, and the atmosphere is filled with the energy and vibrancy of Scotland's capital city. Mr. Kidston, with his white beard and traditional Scottish attire, stands out against the backdrop of modern Edinburgh. His costume, reminiscent of a bygone era, adds an intriguing contrast to the contemporary surroundings. Mr. Jardine, on the other hand, is dressed in the fashionable clothing of the time, reflecting his position as a prominent figure in Scottish society. His stern yet welcoming expression suggests an air of authority and importance. The meeting between these two men is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of Edinburgh during the 19th century. The 'Modern Athenians' series, which documented the lives and stories of notable Scots, captures this moment in time, offering a glimpse into the past and preserving the legacy of these influential figures. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing insights into the lives of two remarkable individuals and the world they inhabited. The intricate details and the authenticity of the scene make it a must-have for anyone interested in Scottish history and the Victorian era.
