Queen Street was originally to be called Forth Street, but the name was changed to Queen Street due to its stupendous location. The change of name meant a corresponding change of name for Frederick Street, which was to have been called Queen Street.
The image shows Queen Street, and was first published in Edinburgh Old and New by James Grant.
