Birlinn's Limited Editions imprint celebrates the extraordinary
work of John Kay with a magnificent, beautifully bound two-volume
edition of Kay's portraits and caricatures, originally published in
Edinburgh in 1837-8. Alan Bell, social historian and former
Librarian of The London Library, introduces Kay's life and
remarkable achievement, emphasising how, with 'the impression of a
passing glance', Kay created an engaging and unparalleled record of
Edinburgh society during the Enlightenment. World-famous figures
such as Adam Smith, Walter Scott, James Hutton, Joseph Black and
even Vincent Lunardi (in his famous balloon) feature alongside all
kinds of Edinburgh citizens - eminent doctors and scientists,
lawyers and clerics, ladies of fashion and their admirers, soldiers
and merchants, murderers and criminals. Volume 1: 824pp with 168
plates. Volume 2: 872pp with 188 plates.
