Edinburgh 1911
June 1911: A view of Princes Street in Edinburgh showing the Royal Institute and the Scott Monument. Princes Street, named after George IIIs sons, was designed by James Craig (c. 1740 - 95) who built hotels and shops on the north side of the street and left the south side open to slope down to public gardens. Craigs most significant achievement was his winning design for the New Town which was submitted in 1767. (Photo by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to June 1911 with this print of Edinburgh's iconic Princes Street. The bustling thoroughfare, named after King George III's sons, is beautifully captured in all its grandeur. Standing proudly amidst the cityscape are two architectural marvels - the Royal Institute and the Scott Monument. Designed by James Craig, a visionary architect of his time, Princes Street showcases his brilliance as he strategically built hotels and shops on one side while leaving the other open to slope down towards public gardens. However, it was Craig's crowning achievement that truly solidified his legacy - his winning design for the New Town which he submitted in 1767. This photograph transports us back over a century ago when horse-drawn carriages filled these streets and pedestrians strolled along admiring the magnificent structures that still stand tall today. The timeless beauty of Edinburgh is evident as we gaze upon this snapshot from history. The monochromatic format adds an air of nostalgia to this image, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail etched into stone. It serves as a reminder of how architecture can shape a city's identity and leave an indelible mark on its inhabitants. As we admire this archival piece from Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, let us be transported to a bygone era where Edinburgh exuded elegance and charm at every turn.
