EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Leith, 1881" showcases a mesmerizing oil on canvas painting by the talented Italian artist Telemaco Signorini. The artwork is currently housed in the Galleria d Arte Moderna at Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy. The scene depicted in this masterpiece takes us back to the bustling streets of Leith during the year 1881. The canvas comes alive with vibrant colors and intricate details that transport us to a different era. In this snapshot of history, we witness Scottish soldiers proudly donning their kilts and uniforms as they patrol the streets alongside a diligent policeman. As our eyes wander through this enchanting street scene, we notice various elements that add depth and character to the composition. A charming corner shop catches our attention with its inviting display of goods, while a traditional pram stands nearby waiting for its next adventure. Intriguingly enough, amidst all these fascinating details lies an unexpected reference to Edinburgh's famous figure - Rob Roy MacGregor himself! Perhaps it serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich cultural heritage woven into everyday life. This remarkable artwork not only captures an authentic moment frozen in time but also offers us glimpses into daily life from over a century ago. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in Leith's atmosphere and appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty.
