EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1905, captures the grandeur and sophistication of two prominent Scottish businesses: William Younger & Co Limited and Andrew Melrose & Company. The image showcases the impressive facades of their respective premises, located in Edinburgh. William Younger & Co Limited, represented here by the Holyrood Breweries, was a renowned name in the Scottish brewing industry. The Neoclassical design of the building, with its portico, pediment, and columns, exudes a sense of grandeur and stability. The advert for the Abbey Brewery, also part of the William Younger & Co Limited empire, is prominently displayed on the building's border. Andrew Melrose & Company, on the other hand, was a distinguished tea merchant based on George Street. The Art Nouveau style of their building is evident in the intricate border adorning the advert for their tea business. The classical elements, such as the columns and pediment, blend seamlessly with the modern Art Nouveau design, creating a visually striking contrast. The Edwardian era, during which this photograph was taken, was a time of growth and prosperity in Scotland's industrial and commercial sectors. This photograph serves as a testament to the success and importance of these two companies in Edinburgh's business landscape. The advertisements on the buildings not only served as a means of promotion but also added to the visual appeal of the city's streets.
