EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Old Royal High School, a magnificent neo-classical building nestled on Calton Hill in Edinburgh. Captured between 1843 and 1847 by renowned photographers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, this image is a testament to their artistic prowess. The Old Royal High School stands tall against the backdrop of the Scottish capital, exuding an air of grandeur and history. Its architectural details are meticulously captured in this salted paper print from a paper negative, revealing the intricate craftsmanship that went into its construction. As one gazes at this photograph, they are transported back to the 19th century when education was highly valued and institutions like this played a vital role in shaping young minds. The school's exterior reflects both strength and elegance, with its neoclassical design standing as a symbol of enlightenment. Hill & Adamson's expertise in landscape photography shines through as they expertly capture not only the impressive structure but also the surrounding natural beauty of Calton Hill. This composition perfectly balances man-made architecture with nature's serene presence. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich cultural history. It invites viewers to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and the significance of education in society during that time period.
