"Calton Jail, Edinburgh" is a 1904 etching by Scottish artist James McBey. The artwork depicts a shadowy view of the Calton Jail, a former prison located in Edinburgh, Scotland. McBey's use of deep blacks and whites, along with the dramatic lighting, creates a sense of mystery and foreboding, highlighting the somber atmosphere of the prison. This etching is a classic example of McBey's mastery of the etching technique and his keen eye for capturing the essence of place.
