Bird's Eye view of Edinburgh from the south, c 1890-c 1910
Scope and Contents
A glass plate negative showing an image of Frank C. Mears' "Bird's Eye View of Edinburgh, from the south, c. 1450." (See Coll-1167/B/4/1). A very similar, but no identical drawing was among the exhibits in Geddes' "Cities and Town Planning Exhibition"; it had a rather long inscription noting the various consituents of all medieval towns, and showing how the grouping could vary to meet conditions of site. Handwwritten title by Mabel Barker.
