Walter Geikie, RSA (1795-1837) was one of the great Scottish artists of the early 19th-century. The Grandchild Reading and the Shoe Stand shown here are two original engravings donated from the estate of Margaret Lawrie.
In his short lifetime, Geikie produced over 1100 sketches of daily Edinburgh life as seen through his eyes, honest, humorous and full of empathy.
