EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Modern Athenians Plate 2 - Edinburgh,' is a striking depiction of two revered religious figures, the Reverend David Dickinson (1780-1842) of St. Cuthberts Church and the Reverend Robert Candlish (died 1873) of St. Georges Church, engaging in a warm handshake. The photograph, taken in Edinburgh during the mid-19th century, captures the antiquated yet modern atmosphere of the city. Both men are dressed in the formal attire of the time, with Dickinson wearing a long, dark robe and a white collar, while Candlish dons a similar outfit, albeit with a lighter-colored robe. The pair appear poised and serious, their faces expressing a sense of mutual respect and admiration. The image is a testament to the historical significance of these two religious leaders in Edinburgh during the 1800s. Dickinson, a prominent figure in St. Cuthberts Church, was known for his contributions to the city's religious and educational institutions. Candlish, on the other hand, was a charismatic preacher and founder of the Free Church of Scotland, which split from the established Church of Scotland in 1843. Despite their differences, the two men are shown here in a moment of unity, highlighting the importance of dialogue and understanding in a time of religious division. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the rich history of Edinburgh and the role that its religious leaders played in shaping the city's cultural and spiritual landscape. This evocative image, with its intriguing historical context, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Edinburgh, Scotland, or the role of religion in shaping communities. The antiquated yet modern atmosphere of the photograph is a reminder of the enduring power of human connection and the importance of preserving our historical heritage.
