The artwork, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a momentous occasion that was immortalized in The Illustrated London News on November 22,1862. The scene is filled with regal splendor as distinguished guests gather to witness this historic event. The sculpture itself stands prominently on a pedestal, symbolizing both artistic excellence and reverence for royalty. As students and faculty members look on with admiration, it becomes evident that education and culture are deeply intertwined within this educational institution. The presence of Edward VII, then known as the Prince of Wales, adds an air of prestige to this ceremonial affair. His royal status is further emphasized by references to "his" and "her" royal highnesses throughout the caption. This image not only celebrates artistry but also highlights Scotland's rich cultural heritage through its depiction of Edinburgh's iconic landmarks. Through meticulous detail and expert craftsmanship, this engraving transports viewers back in time to relive a moment when tradition merged with innovation.
