EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning interior of the Advocates Library in Edinburgh. Engraved by William Watkins in 1831, this image transports us back to a time when knowledge was revered and libraries were sanctuaries of learning. The grandeur of the library is evident as we gaze upon its colonnaded hall, adorned with exquisite Georgian architecture. The symmetrical rows of Corinthian columns create an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication, while the dome above bathes the space in natural light through a magnificent skylight. Every detail within this image speaks to the rich history and cultural significance that permeates throughout Scotland's capital city. From the meticulously crafted decoration on every surface to the intricate cupola crowning it all, one cannot help but be awestruck by the craftsmanship on display. As we imagine ourselves walking through these hallowed halls, it becomes clear why this library has been cherished for centuries. It is not merely a repository for books; it is a sanctuary where minds have been expanded, ideas have flourished, and justice has been sought. This engraving comes from Thomas Hosmer Shepherd's part work entitled "Modern Athens! Displayed in a Series of Views: or, Edinburgh in the nineteenth century" published between 1829-31. Its inclusion in private collections ensures that future generations can appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance.
