The second title in Malcolm Cant's Pictorial Edinburgh series shows people at work and at leisure from the late nineteenth century to the present day. It provides a photographic record of aspects of the city which are in danger of being lost forever from the public domain. Many of the photographs are taken from family albums while others are as seen through the lens of a professional photographer. The majority of the photographs have never been published before. The book is partitioned into three main sections, Children and Families; At Leisure, School and Church; At Work and On Parade with two colour sections in between: Children, Exhibitions, Marches and Shops, Pageantry, Parades. The book will enthral natives and non-natives alike and enable future generations to see how folk in Edinburgh dressed, worked and relaxed in days gone by.
