EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of David Hume, one of Scotland's most influential philosophers, economists, and historians. The image showcases Riddle's Close in Edinburgh, where Hume resided for a significant period of his life. Born on April 26th, 1711 and passing away on August 25th, 1776, Hume left an indelible mark on the intellectual landscape. The engraving titled "Edinburgh in the Olden Times" by Daniel Wilson transports us back to the 19th century when this remarkable figure lived. Published in E. L. Woodard-William Collins' book "British Historians" this print offers a glimpse into Hume's world. Hume was not only a writer but also an esteemed philosopher who contributed greatly to the Enlightenment movement of the 18th century. His ideas challenged traditional beliefs and paved the way for new ways of thinking about human nature and knowledge. In this image, we see Riddle's Close as it would have appeared during Hume's time - its exterior exuding history and charm. The engraver has skillfully captured every intricate detail with precision and artistry. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of Hume's profound impact on British society and beyond. His writings continue to shape philosophical discourse today. Let this visual representation transport you back to a time when great thinkers like David Hume roamed these streets - their ideas echoing through history as they sought to unravel life's greatest riddles.
