EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in 1902 by Underwood & Underwood, showcases the enchanting cityscape of Edinburgh, Scotland. From the vantage point of Calton Hill, we are treated to a sweeping view that stretches from the southwest all the way to Edinburgh Castle atop Castle Rock. The foreground is dominated by Calton Jail, a stark reminder of the city's criminal past. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia and timelessness to this image, allowing us to truly appreciate the architectural beauty and fortifications that define this capital city. The intricate details of each building come alive as they contrast against the cloudy sky above. In addition to its architectural grandeur, this photograph also captures a sense of history with its inclusion of an old burial ground. It serves as a poignant reminder that beneath Edinburgh's bustling streets lie layers upon layers of stories waiting to be discovered. As we gaze at this stereoscopic card through our stereoscope viewer, we are transported back in time to experience Edinburgh's landscape as it was over a century ago. This remarkable piece from Heritage Images allows us not only to admire the craftsmanship behind Underwood & Underwood's work but also invites us into a moment frozen in history – where law met crime and beauty intertwined with fortification.
