EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Prospect of ye Town of Glasgow from ye North East, from Theatrum Scotiae" takes us back in time to the year 1693. Captured by John Slezer, this engraving offers a unique view of the cityscape from what is now known as the Glasgow Necropolis. In this panoramic image, we are immediately drawn to the dominating presence of Glasgow Cathedral on the right side. Its grandeur and architectural beauty stand tall against the backdrop of an ever-evolving urban landscape. As our eyes wander further into the distance, we spot several spires belonging to significant landmarks such as Tron Church, Old College of Glasgow University, Blackfriars Church, and Tolbooth. This snapshot provides a glimpse into old-world Scotland with its charming buildings and bustling town life. It showcases a moment frozen in time when these structures were at their prime and held great importance within society. As we explore this historic scene captured by Slezer's skilled hand, it reminds us of how cities evolve over centuries yet retain traces of their past glory. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity in architecture and our desire to preserve history for future generations.
