EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Plate 40 of the Modern Athenians series, published by Mary Evans Picture Library. The scene is set in the heart of 19th century Edinburgh, Scotland, where two distinguished residents, Captain John Robertson (1771-1868) and John A. Bertram, a wine merchant, are depicted in an engaging encounter. Captain Robertson, a man of the sea, is shown wearing the traditional naval uniform of the time, complete with a tricorn hat adorned with gold braid, a red coat with gold buttons, and white breeches. His confident and determined expression conveys a sense of authority and experience gained from years spent at sea. In contrast, John A. Bertram, the wine merchant, is dressed in the fashionable attire of the day, with a waistcoat, cravat, and breeches. His welcoming smile and outstretched hand suggest a warm and friendly demeanor, inviting Captain Robertson to join him for a glass of wine or perhaps a business discussion. The background of the image reveals the bustling streets of Edinburgh, with its cobblestone roads, horse-drawn carriages, and various shops and buildings. The year is 1848, a time of great change and progress in Scotland, and the two men represent the diverse and dynamic community that thrived in this historic city. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of two prominent figures in Edinburgh's 19th century society. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
