EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Statue of Greyfriars Bobby in Edinburgh. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases this beloved monument that has become a symbol of loyalty and devotion. Greyfriars Bobby was a Skye Terrier who became famous for faithfully guarding his owner's grave for 14 years after his passing. This heartwarming tale resonated with locals and visitors alike, leading to the construction of this beautiful statue in honor of Bobby's unwavering loyalty. The photo highlights the intricate details of the statue, depicting Bobby sitting on a stone plinth with his head turned towards Greyfriars Kirkyard where he spent countless hours watching over his master's resting place. The surrounding fountains add a touch of serenity to the scene, creating a peaceful ambiance. As we gaze upon this sepia-toned postcard from early 20th century Edinburgh, we are transported back in time to witness history through the lens of photography. The image evokes feelings of nostalgia and admiration for both man's best friend and our shared human capacity for love and dedication. This photograph is not just an artistic representation; it serves as a reminder that even animals can leave lasting imprints on our hearts. It immortalizes Greyfriars Bobby's story while paying homage to all those who have found solace in their furry companions throughout history.
