EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 37 of the Modern Athenians series captures an important historical moment in Edinburgh's military history. The image features Captain The Honorable Augustus G.F. Jocelyn (d. 1847) in full military regalia, poised for a conversation with Lieutenant General Sir Neil Douglas (1790-1853), the commander and chief of the British army at the time. The two men are depicted walking along a cobblestone street, with the imposing Edinburgh Castle looming in the background. Sir Neil Douglas, a distinguished military leader, is dressed in his full uniform, complete with a red coat, white waistcoat, and gold braid. He carries a sword at his side and wears a tall, plumed hat. Captain Jocelyn, also in military attire, walks alongside him, his hand extended in a gesture of respect or greeting. The two men appear deep in conversation, their faces expressive and engaged. The Modern Athenians series, which was published between 1845 and 1848, aimed to capture the spirit of the age through detailed illustrations of contemporary life. This particular plate highlights the importance of the military in Edinburgh during this period and the close relationship between its commanders. Sir Neil Douglas, who had served in the Peninsular War and the Crimean War, was a highly respected figure in the British military, and his interactions with other officers like Captain Jocelyn would have been a common occurrence in the city's bustling military community. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into Edinburgh's military past and offers a unique insight into the lives of two of its most prominent figures. The intricate details of their uniforms, the atmospheric setting, and the sense of history that permeates the image make it a must-have for any collection of historical photographs or illustrations of Edinburgh.
