The Royal Institution  -  Princes Street

Here is the Royal Institution, the first of two Art Galleries to be built at the Foot of the Mound, Princes Street.

In this view, Queen Victoria and other statues can be seen on top of the gallery.  These had not been added at the time of Shepherd's earlier engraving, published in 1829.
