EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Eminent Edinburghians, aka Modern Athenians" transports us back to the early nineteenth century in Scotland. This coloured engraving by Benjamin William Crombie showcases two prominent figures of that era, James Jollie and Robert Sym. James Jollie, Esq. , WS, served as the esteemed Clerk to the Merchant Company. His dedication and expertise made him an influential figure within Edinburgh's business community. Alongside him stands Robert Sym, Esq. , WS, residing at 20 George Square. As a well-known individual in his own right, Sym contributed significantly to the city's development. This remarkable image is part of a collection featuring hand-coloured plates depicting eminent Edinburghians or "Modern Athenians". These prints were initially issued separately before being bound together with title pages and identification leaves between 1839 and 1851. Through this photograph print, we catch a glimpse of these distinguished individuals who played integral roles in shaping Edinburgh's history. The rich colors breathe life into their portraits while capturing their essence as notable figures of their time. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, it serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by those who have come before us. Their contributions continue to inspire generations and remind us of our shared heritage rooted in Scottish culture and history.
