EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 17 of the Modern Athenians series, captured in the historic city of Edinburgh, presents an engaging scene of two distinguished gentlemen, Dr. Robert Burt and Mr. Roger Aytoun, engaged in a friendly encounter while out for a walk. The year is 1839, and the atmosphere is poised on the brink of a rain shower, as evidenced by the umbrellas both men carry. Dr. Burt, a merry-hearted physician, approaches Mr. Aytoun with an air of anticipation and camaraderie. The men's antiquated costumes transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends of the era. Dr. Burt is dressed in a long, double-breasted coat, a waistcoat, and a top hat, while Mr. Aytoun dons a similar outfit, complete with a cravat and a monocle. The intricate details of their clothing, from the textures of their fabrics to the stitching on their shoes, add depth and authenticity to the image. Despite the impending rain, the men's expressions convey a sense of enjoyment and companionship. Their umbrellas, held aloft, shield them from the anticipated downpour, but their focus remains on their conversation. This moment, frozen in time, offers a poignant reminder of the importance of human connection, even amidst the challenges of the natural world. Edinburgh's iconic architecture serves as the backdrop to this scene, with its grand buildings and cobblestone streets adding to the historical context of the image. The Modern Athenians series, which documents the lives of notable individuals from various professions and walks of life, offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and culture of the time.
