The New Town, Edinburgh 1905

"The New Town, Edinburgh" is a 1905 etching by Scottish artist James McBey, known for his evocative depictions of cityscapes. This artwork captures a characteristically dramatic view of the city, with its rooftops and spires silhouetted against a stormy sky. McBey's masterful use of line and shading in the etching style creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, immersing the viewer in the city's architecture and the palpable tension of the approaching storm.
