Description:
Interior view of the dining room fireplace at 3 Rothesay Terrace, Edinburgh. The fireplace has a marble surround and an extravagant overmantel in which four ornately carved columns frame a painting of three of the daughters of John Ritchie Findlay; Florence, Dora and Hannah, by the artist Sir George Reid. To the right of the fireplace is a portrait of Susan Findlay, the wife of John Ritchie Findlay. The dining room has a timber beamed ceiling and an oak dado with round brass frames for displaying a collection of plates. A good deal of pottery is on display around the fireplace and an elaborate plasterwork frieze with putti (cherubic figures) and garlands runs around the top of the wall. No 3 Rothesay Terrace was remodelled in 1883 by the architect, Sydney Mitchell, for John Ritchie Findlay, owner of The Scotsman newspaper. In the 1930s the building served as residence for Queen Margret College Domestic Science Institute before being passed to the National Health Service as a Conference Centre in the 1960s. Since 2008 the property has been used as a hotel. There are some tiny flaws in the print itself, likely sustained in the printing process rather than a flaw to the original plate or negative.
