Map of Edinburgh, 1893 Sheet map
Sheet map
Description
In Scotland, the spirit of industry that swept through the nineteenth century was strongest in Glasgow but Edinburgh emerged as a cultural capital, becoming known as the "Athens of the North".
Published in 1893, just four years after it was granted city status and the National Portrait Gallery first opened its doors, this detailed street map captures Edinburgh as her reputation as a centre of finance and the arts was flourishing.
This attractive depiction of a modern city in its infancy is an invaluable tool for local historians and genealogists.
