EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1871, capturing a poignant moment in the history of Edinburgh. The image showcases a view of houses at the head of College Wynd, just before their inevitable demolition. It offers an intriguing glimpse into Victorian Scotland, revealing the architectural style and urban landscape that once defined this bustling city. The scene is both fascinating and melancholic as we witness these historic buildings standing proudly but knowing their fate is sealed. Each house tells its own story through its unique design and intricate details, reflecting the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The cobblestone street leading up to them adds character to the composition, while also hinting at the daily lives that were once lived here. As we study this photograph closely, it becomes evident that it serves as more than just a visual record; it acts as a testament to change and progress. It reminds us how cities evolve over time, making way for new developments while leaving behind fragments of their past. Preserved by the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland, this print allows us to appreciate our heritage and sparks curiosity about what lies beneath modern-day Edinburgh's surface. It invites us to reflect upon our connection with history and encourages further exploration into Victorian Scotland – an era filled with stories waiting to be discovered.
