EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph, taken from the 'Modern Athenians' series, showcases two esteemed Scottish judges, The Hon. Patrick, Lord Robertson and The Right Hon. John Hope, Lord Justice-Clerk, engaged in a casual encounter on the bustling streets of Edinburgh in the mid-19th century. Dressed in their antiquated robes and poised with an air of authority, the judges exude an aura of historical significance. Lord Robertson, born in 1793, was a distinguished Scottish judge and politician who served as Lord Advocate and Lord Justice General of Scotland. His contemporary, Lord Justice-Clerk Hope, born in 1794, was also a prominent Scottish judge who presided over the Court of Session in Edinburgh. The photograph captures a moment of camaraderie between the two judges as they take a leisurely stroll through the city. The antiquated costumes of the judges, with their 18th-century wigs and robes, contrast sharply with the modern backdrop of Edinburgh's bustling streets, creating a fascinating juxtaposition of old and new. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of these influential figures and the society they inhabited. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of Scotland's legal system and the enduring tradition of its judges."
