Pictures of Leith 1. Leith Engravings and Old Photos |
|
19th Century Engravings Photography began in the mid-19th century, but for most of that century books were illustrated by engravings. Here are some old engravings of Leith that appeared in 19th century books: a) Modern Athens Published 1829 b) Old & New Edinburgh Published 1890 Both these books were lavishly illustrated with engravings. The illustrations in these books were black and white, but now the books have often been broken up and the individual engravings then hand-tinted and mounted on board and sold for, perhaps, about £25 each. ___________________________________ 1.
