This picture, which appears in the 1829 book 'Modern Athens', focuses on the area of Leith still known as The Shore. Although the docks were extended out to sea in the nineteenth century The Shore was not yet separated from them and there was still much commercial traffic here, as well as passenger boats like the paddle steamer.
