EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the year 1893, offering a glimpse into the reference room of Edinburgh Central Library. Stepping into this Victorian-era sanctuary of knowledge feels like entering a different world altogether. The grandeur of the library's architecture is evident, with its high ceilings adorned by intricate moldings and ornate chandeliers casting a warm glow upon rows upon rows of bookshelves. As we peer closer, we can see scholars hunched over large wooden tables, engrossed in their studies amidst an atmosphere of quiet concentration. Sunlight streams through tall windows, illuminating dust particles suspended in the air and adding an ethereal quality to the scene. The shelves are filled with leather-bound volumes that have stood witness to countless hours spent researching and discovering new realms of information. The photograph captures not only the physical space but also hints at the intellectual pursuits taking place within these walls during that era. It serves as a reminder of how libraries have long been treasured as havens for learning and exploration. Preserved by the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland, this image offers us a rare opportunity to connect with our past and appreciate both the architectural beauty and scholarly endeavors that shaped Victorian Scotland.
