EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Leith Pier, from the West, 1775" takes us back in time to the bustling port of Leith in Scotland. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the rich history of Edinburgh. The image showcases Leith Pier as it appeared in 1775, with its grand architecture and busy waterfront. The pier served as a vital hub for trade and maritime activities during this period. Ships can be seen docked along the quay, their masts reaching towards the sky. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to the scene. From the intricate carvings on buildings to the waves gently lapping against boats, each element tells a story of a vibrant past. This historical artwork was originally created as an illustration for Cassells Old and New Edinburgh book series around 1885. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, we are able to appreciate its beauty today with enhanced clarity. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries ago when Leith Pier played a significant role in shaping Scottish history. It serves as a reminder of how our world has evolved over time while honoring those who came before us.
