EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the bustling streets of 1870s Glasgow, Scotland. Captured by renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan, it showcases Close Number 118 High Street in all its Victorian-era glory. The image is part of Annan's iconic series "The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow" which aimed to document the city's architectural heritage. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported into a community steeped in history. Rows of tightly packed houses line both sides of the narrow street, creating an intimate atmosphere that reflects the close-knit nature of urban living during that era. The architecture exudes character with its distinct Scottish charm, while also revealing signs of poverty prevalent at the time. Annan's keen eye captures not just buildings but stories too - tales whispered through cracked windows and worn-out doorways. This photograph serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by those residing within these tenements and slums. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded to appreciate how far our cities have come since then. It stands as a testament to human resilience and progress over time. Let us honor those who once called these apartments home while acknowledging their struggle for better housing conditions. Through Annan's lens, we witness a slice of life from 19th-century Glasgow – an invaluable glimpse into our shared past that continues to resonate with viewers even after more than a century has passed.
