Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: A mid-19thC depiction of the High Street of Edinburgh in the 18th century with the 'Heart of Midlothian', the old town tolbooth and its railed-in execution platform, centre right. Note the members of the Town Guard, one below the barber-surgeon's pole with bleeding bowl on the left, two conversing with gentlemen on 'the croon o' the causey' (middle of the street), and two in the distance beside the tolbooth. Beyond the forestair on the left can be seen a Newhaven or Musselburgh fishwife with a fish-creel (basket) on her back. A child, lower left, carries a water-jug from the Lawnmarket Well seen on the right, before which stands a 'cadie' (all-purpose hireling), employed as a 'waterman', with a water-barrel on his back. |
