The story behind the view
A record of Edinburgh
Published in 1886, this detailed view captures the head of Edinburgh’s West Bow at the Lawnmarket, where tightly packed buildings rise above a lively street scene. Traders, carts and pedestrians bring the old quarter to life, preserving a vivid glimpse of a part of the city that has since changed with this old building now gone. Preserved here, forever though.
