Daniel Wilson (1816–92) trained as an artist before turning to a scholarly career in archaeology and anthropology. This two-volume work on Edinburgh's historic buildings and antiquities was first published in 1848. Alongside detailed historical notes, Wilson's illustrations record places that were being threatened by development, or were already lost.
