EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Mr George Sandy approaching Mr James Pedie," is a stunning representation of two prominent figures in Edinburgh society during the 1830s. George Sandy (c. 1777-1853), depicted on the left, is shown in a smart, modern outfit, wearing a double-breasted frock coat with a waistcoat and cravat, while his trousers are held up by braces. His hat sits at a jaunty angle on his head, adding to his dapper appearance. On the right, James Pedie (c. 1791-1844) is equally well-dressed, wearing a similar outfit, but with a single-breasted frock coat and a top hat perched on his head. Both men exude an air of confidence and refinement, reflecting the fashionable standards of the time. The setting of this photograph is believed to be in Edinburgh, Scotland, during the year 1839. The Athenian Society, a literary and scientific institution, was a popular gathering place for men of intellect and culture, and it is likely that this photograph was taken there. The men's serious expressions and direct gaze suggest a deep engagement in conversation or debate. This photograph is an intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a window into the sartorial and social customs of Edinburgh in the 1830s. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of personal appearance and the role it played in shaping one's reputation and standing in society.
