EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Eminent Edinburghians, aka Modern Athenians" showcases two distinguished figures from the 19th century. The Hon John (Lord) Cuninghame and The Hon Adam (Lord) Gillies are depicted in this remarkable piece by Benjamin William Crombie. The print is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the rich history of Edinburgh, often referred to as the "Modern Athens". This collection features hand-coloured plates of notable individuals who have left an indelible mark on the city's legacy. Both Lord Cuninghame and Lord Gillies were prominent figures in their time, contributing significantly to Scottish society. Their inclusion in this compilation highlights their importance within Edinburgh's cultural fabric. Dating back to 1839-51, these prints provide valuable insights into the lives and achievements of famous Scots during that era. They serve as a testament to their enduring influence and contributions across various fields such as law, politics, or academia. As we admire this exquisite artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of Edinburgh's vibrant past and its role as a hub for intellectual pursuits. These engravings offer us an opportunity to connect with Scotland's historical roots while celebrating the accomplishments of these eminent individuals who helped shape the city's identity.
