EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian Scotland. Captured in 1854 by the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland, it offers a mesmerizing view from Princes Street over Canal Street Station, now famously known as Waverley Station. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent architecture that adorns Edinburgh's Old Town in the background. The intricate details of these ancient buildings tell tales of a bygone era and transport us into a world steeped in rich history. The scene is alive with activity; people scurry along the cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages traverse through busy intersections, and merchants display their wares at market stalls. It is an immersive experience that allows us to witness daily life during this remarkable period. The composition of the photograph perfectly captures both the grandeur of Edinburgh's skyline and its vibrant street life. The juxtaposition between old and new is striking - modern transportation coexisting harmoniously with centuries-old landmarks. This print serves as a testament to Scotland's enduring heritage and reminds us of how much has changed since those Victorian times. It invites us to reflect on our own place within history while appreciating the beauty that lies within every corner of this enchanting city.
