This bronze statue on a Binny sandstone plinth depicts Adam Black (1784-1874) in his robes as Lord Provost of Edinburgh. The statue was designed by John Hutchison RSA (1833-1910)
He was a liberal politician and reformer, at a time when parliamentary reform and suffrage was at the top of the political agenda. His publishing house Blacks acquired the copyright for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and in 1851 bought the copyright for Sir Walter Scotts Waverley novels.
