George Street, St Andrew’s Church and Lord Melville’s Monument, Edinburgh, engraved by T. Barber. This is from an engraving dating from 1832 made from a watercolour drawing by Thomas H. Shepherd (1793-1864). At the time, 1832, William IV was king, some five years before Queen Victoria ascended to the throne. This and others which I have in the series were used to illustrate the architectural likenesses between Athens and Edinburgh (Scotland) and its environs at the time. Note: Some of the originals had foxing which may show as slightly darker patches in the photos.
