A tall, thin man, who delighted in taking long walks whatever the state of the weather, Sym was a popular, though slightly eccentric figure in Edinburgh. Date: 1839

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dated 1839, depicts James Jollie (1757-1846) and Robert Sym (1752-1845) in a lively conversation on the bustling streets of Edinburgh. James Jollie, a distinguished businessman with a prominent role in the city's public institutions, is shown in fashionable attire, wearing a top hat and a well-tailored frock coat. His serious expression and piercing gaze suggest a man of great intelligence and determination. Standing next to him is Robert Sym, a popular and slightly eccentric figure in Edinburgh, who gained literary fame as the character Timothy Tickler in the Noctes Ambrosiane, published monthly in Blackwood's Magazine between 1822 and 1835. Sym is depicted as a tall, thin man, dressed in a simple, yet elegant outfit, with a warm smile playing on his lips. His characteristic long walks, regardless of the weather, added to his endearing reputation in the city. The photograph captures the unique dynamic between these two influential men, showcasing their shared connection to Edinburgh's vibrant intellectual and social scene during the 1830s. The modern, atmospheric setting and the intriguing characters of Jollie and Sym make this photograph an intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into the lives of these remarkable men and the era they inhabited.
