Title
Justice Street
Description
Correspondent Ed Fowler has been in touch to inform us that this drawing is by Andrew Gibb Jr. and shows John Black's house, shop and museum on Justice Street (or the Justice Port as this part of the street was known). John Black worked as a boot and shoe maker and dealer. He was born in 1799 in Manchester and died in 1859 in Aberdeen. A substantial account of his life, work and character is given by his friend William Skene in <i>East Neuk Chronicles</i> (1905, page 35). Black was a well-known, and somewhat eccentric, Aberdeen figure. Skene writes "Not to give some detailed account of John Black would be as unpardonable as to enact the play of Hamlet with the prince left out."
