EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a slice of history in Edinburgh, Scotland during the 19th century. Titled "Edinburgh. The Royal High School, 1843-47" it was created by renowned photographers David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson. The image showcases the iconic Royal High School building, standing proudly amidst a landscape that exudes heritage and grandeur. In this snapshot of time, we see a group of well-dressed men posing for the camera. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of the era with top hats adorning their heads. One gentleman stands out from the crowd wearing an elegant hat that adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this salted paper print from a paper negative, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. It serves as a testament to both Hill and Adamson's mastery in capturing not only landscapes but also people in their photography. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to 19th-century Britain where education at institutions like The Royal High School played a vital role in shaping society. This photograph is more than just an artistic creation; it is a window into our past – reminding us of our shared cultural heritage and the importance of preserving such treasures for future generations to admire and learn from.
