Hello, this item is a hand-colored lithograph titled “View of Edinburgh from the Castle” by the Scottish artist David Roberts, dated circa 1850. Roberts, known for his detailed architectural and topographical works, gained prominence in the 19th century for his lithographic series depicting urban and historical landscapes across Europe and the Middle East. This particular view captures Edinburgh’s skyline from the castle, showcasing the precision and tonal delicacy typical of Roberts’ compositions. The mention of hand-coloring and its origin from the Royal Mile Gallery suggest it was sold as an authentic antique print rather than a modern reproduction.

Given the artist’s renown and the continued desirability of his 19th-century lithographs, especially those depicting Scottish landmarks, this example in excellent condition would typically be valued between USD 350 and 600 in gallery or auction contexts.
