EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Advocates Close, Edinburgh, 1912" takes us on a journey back in time to the bustling streets of early 20th century Scotland. The artist, Hedley Fitton, skillfully captures the essence of this historic city with his intricate details and masterful technique. In this print, we are transported to Advocates Close, a narrow alleyway lined with dilapidated homes and worn-out steps. The architecture tells stories of bygone eras while showcasing the charm and character that still define Edinburgh today. As we explore the scene further, we can almost hear the echoes of footsteps from long ago residents who once walked these very streets. Fitton's work not only highlights the beauty of Edinburgh but also sheds light on its less glamorous side. This etching serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and architectural marvels, there were pockets of poverty and slums scattered throughout the city. Displayed at The McManus in Dundee, UK - part of Dundee Art Galleries and Museums - this piece is an important historical document capturing a moment frozen in time. It allows us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come as a society. As you gaze upon this print by Bridgeman Images, take a moment to immerse yourself in its rich history and let your imagination wander through Advocates Close over a century ago.
