EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Glasgow, Scotland. Captured by renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan in the 1870s, it showcases Close Number 148 High Street in all its Victorian glory. The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow is a testament to Annan's dedication to documenting the city's architectural heritage. In this image, we are transported into a close-knit community where rows of houses line the narrow street. The architecture reflects the era with its distinct Victorian style, showcasing intricate details that were characteristic of that time. However, amidst this grandeur lies evidence of poverty and slum conditions that plagued many urban areas during this period. Annan's lens captures not only buildings but also tells stories about the people who inhabited these spaces. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those living in cramped tenements within these closes or alleyways. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but appreciate Annan's skillful composition and his ability to capture both beauty and hardship simultaneously. It stands as a powerful historical document shedding light on an important chapter in Glasgow's history while reminding us of our responsibility to address issues such as housing inequality even today.
