Lines of Communication in and about Edinburgh, c 1890-c 1910
A glass plate negative showing an image of a plan showing the lines of communication in and about Edinburgh. The original plan was so badly crumpled within its folder that it is difficult to follow this imperfect print. It is a plan showing a series of proposed new roads in central Edinburgh. Dedicated to the Prince Consort. It must therefore date from before 1861, when he died. These plans, including two semi-circular terraces in Holyrood Park, were never carried out.
