EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Southside of the Castle of Edinburgh, as captured by John Slezer in 1693. The engraving showcases a panoramic view that encompasses various iconic landmarks and breathtaking countryside scenery. In the foreground, we see the bustling Grassmarket area with its vibrant city atmosphere, filled with people going about their daily lives. Towering above is St Giles Cathedral, a magnificent architectural masterpiece that has stood as a symbol of religious devotion for centuries. As our gaze moves further into the frame, we are greeted by Heriot's Hospital, an impressive building steeped in history and known for its charitable work towards education. Adjacent to it stands Greyfriars Church, exuding an aura of tranquility amidst this lively cityscape. The photograph also captures the majestic Mound rising gracefully on one side, offering a glimpse into Edinburgh's hilly terrain and adding depth to this enchanting panorama. Beyond lies a vast expanse of countryside stretching outwards; a reminder of Scotland's natural beauty and untamed landscapes. John Slezer's meticulous attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this historic moment frozen in time. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an invaluable historical document showcasing Edinburgh's rich heritage.
