Binnenplaats van de Old University van Edinburgh c. 1870 - 1890

"Binnenplaats van de Old University van Edinburgh" is a photograph by Scottish photographer James Valentine (1815-1880). It shows the courtyard of the Old University of Edinburgh, a grand building with a domed roof and multiple arched entrances. The photograph captures the architectural details of the building, along with the activity of the courtyard, including horse-drawn carriages and several figures. This image was likely taken sometime between 1870 and 1890. The photograph is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This work is a fine example of early photography's ability to capture and document the historical architecture of the time.
