EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Victorian Scotland, specifically to Jedburgh's High Street in the late 19th century. The focal point of this image is Thomas Smails General Printing Establishment, a significant landmark that played an essential role in the town's communication and dissemination of information during that era. The grand building stands proudly amidst its neighboring structures, exuding an air of importance and sophistication. Its ornate architecture showcases intricate details and craftsmanship typical of Victorian design. The large windows on the ground floor hint at a vibrant interior filled with printing presses, ink-stained desks, and dedicated workers laboring diligently to produce newspapers, pamphlets, and other printed materials for the local community. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time around 1890, we can't help but imagine the lively atmosphere surrounding Thomas Smails' establishment. Perhaps townsfolk eagerly gathered outside its doors each morning to collect freshly printed news or advertisements while engaging in animated conversations about current events or upcoming social gatherings. This photograph not only captures a moment from history but also serves as a testament to the vital role played by establishments like Thomas Smails General Printing Establishment in connecting communities through information sharing during an era when technology had yet to revolutionize communication as we know it today.
