EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Glasgow in 1901. The image showcases Jamaica Street, a prominent thoroughfare that was teeming with activity during this era. The scene is filled with an incredible sense of energy as workers go about their daily routines, horses trot along pulling carts laden with goods, and the unmistakable spirit of Scotland permeates the air. The composition beautifully captures the essence of urban life at the turn of the century. Buildings line both sides of the street, their facades reflecting a mix of architectural styles that hint at Glasgow's rich history. People from all walks of life can be seen going about their business - men in suits hurrying past, women elegantly dressed strolling along arm-in-arm, and children playing on corners. Amidst this vibrant tapestry stands a majestic horse-drawn cart, its presence commanding attention as it traverses through the crowd. It serves as a reminder not only of transportation methods prevalent at that time but also symbolizes progress and commerce. This photograph offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still resonating with echoes from our past. It transports us to a different world where technology had yet to dominate society's every aspect; instead, human labor and horsepower were integral parts of everyday life. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Mitchell and Kenyon in 1869 for MITCHELL AND KENYON 186 (not associated with any company), we are reminded
