EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of Edinburgh University in the late 19th century. The image, captured around 1880, showcases the iconic Old College building designed by renowned architect Robert Adam between 1789 and 1792. The photograph is an engraving from a collection called "Scottish Pictures" published by the Religious Tract Society in 1886. It offers a glimpse into the architectural beauty of this neo-classical masterpiece that still stands proudly today. Situated on Nicholson Street, this historic institution exudes Victorian charm and elegance. The image perfectly captures its imposing presence within Edinburgh's old town, with its magnificent façade rising majestically against the city skyline. As we admire this remarkable piece of history, it is impossible not to be transported back to a time when academia thrived within these hallowed halls. This print allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship of Adam's design and the significance of Edinburgh University as an educational institution. With its cobbled streets and atmospheric surroundings, it serves as a reminder of how much has changed over centuries while also highlighting enduring elements that have stood the test of time. This evocative image invites us to delve into Scotland's rich cultural heritage and marvel at one of its most esteemed academic institutions.
