Download or read book Photography of Victorian Scotland written by Roddy Simpson and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to provide a full and coherent introduction to the photography of Victorian Scotland. There are many books which deal with particular elements and individual photographers, which show the interest in the subject, but no book draws everything together to provide an understanding of the multi-faceted nature of photography and the inter-relationship with other activities in the society of the time. This authoritative introduction, building upon these other publications, will provide a wide-ranging appreciation of early Scottish photography and in particular that Scottish photography was in the vanguard of many international trends. The material has been structured and the topics organised, with appropriate illustrations, as both a readable narrative and a foundation text for the subject.

Book excerpt: An exploration of the stories behind the many buildings lost to history in Scotland’s capital city. What happened to Edinburgh’s once notorious but picturesque Tolbooth Prison? Where was the Black Turnpike, once a dominant building in the town? Why has one of the New Town designer’s major layouts been all but obliterated? What else has been lost in Edinburgh? From Edinburgh’s mean beginnings—“wretched accommodation, no comfortable houses, no soft beds,” visiting French knights complained in 1341—it went on to attract some of the world’s greatest architects to design and build and shape a unique city. But over the centuries many of those fine buildings have gone. Some were destroyed by invasion and civil strife, some simply collapsed with old age and neglect, and others were swept away in the “improvements” of the nineteenth century. Yet more fell to the developers’ swathe of destruction in the twentieth century. Much of the medieval architecture vanished in the Old Town, Georgian Squares were attacked, Princes Street ruined, old tenements razed in huge slum clearance drives, and once familiar and much-loved buildings vanished. The changing pattern of industry, social habits, health service, housing, and road systems all took their toll; not even the city wall was immune. The buildings that stood in the way of what was deemed progress are the heritage of Lost Edinburgh. In this informative book, author Hamish Coghill sets out to trace many of the lost buildings and find out why they were doomed. Lavishly illustrated, Lost Edinburgh is a fascinating insight into an ever-changing cityscape.
