EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph from 1859 showcases the esteemed John Stuart Blackie delivering his lectures on the Greek language and literature at Edinburgh University. The image, captured by an anonymous English School artist of the 19th century, exudes a sense of intellectualism and Victorian elegance. The composition depicts Professor Blackie standing before a lecture hall filled with eager students, their eyes fixed attentively upon him. Dressed in traditional Scottish attire, he emanates authority and passion as he imparts his knowledge on this ancient subject. The intricate engravings adorning the walls serve as a testament to the rich history that surrounds them. This print is not just a mere depiction of an academic event; it represents a pivotal moment in time when education was highly valued and revered. It serves as an invitation for viewers to delve into the world of Greek language and literature through Blackie's teachings.
