EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Georges Church, from George Street looking West, Edinburgh" takes us back to the early 19th century in Scotland's historic capital. The artist behind this masterpiece is Thomas Hosmer Shepherd (1792-1864), renowned for his detailed and evocative depictions of urban landscapes. The scene showcases St Georges Church, a magnificent architectural gem that stands proudly on George Street. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages traversed the cobbled streets and gas lamps illuminated the city at dusk. Shepherd's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate the grandeur of both the church and its surroundings. The towering spire of St Georges Church pierces through the sky with elegance while nearby buildings line George Street in symmetrical harmony. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for "Modern Athens: Displayed in a Series of Views of Edinburgh in the Nineteenth Century" by Jones in 1829. It serves as a testament to Edinburgh's rich history and cultural significance during this period. As we admire this historical artwork, let us take a moment to reflect on how much has changed since then. Yet amidst all these transformations, St Georges Church remains an enduring symbol of Edinburgh's past and continues to inspire awe with its timeless beauty.
