EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Site of Heart of Midlothian, Royal Mile, Edinburgh," transports us back in time to the late Victorian or early Edwardian era. Taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, this lantern slide offers a rare glimpse into the rich history of Scotland's capital city. The image focuses on the Site of the Heart of Midlothian, a historic landmark located on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. The Heart of Midlothian, also known as the "Heart," is a symbol of Edinburgh's resilience and strength. The site was once home to the Old Tolbooth Prison, where public executions took place, and the heart-shaped granite heartstone, a popular tourist attraction today, marks the spot where the gallows stood. The photograph showcases the site's intriguing past, with the remnants of the old prison walls and the heartstone visible in the foreground. The image is bathed in a soft, ethereal light, creating an atmospheric and mysterious ambiance. The cobblestone streets and the old, ivy-covered buildings in the background add to the sense of history and tradition that permeates the area. The photograph's composition is masterful, with the heartstone taking center stage and drawing the viewer's eye. The use of natural light and the subtle textures of the stone and brickwork create a sense of depth and dimension. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into Edinburgh's past and the rich cultural heritage it continues to preserve.
