EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Glasgow in the 1870s. Captured by renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan, it showcases Close, 115 High Street, a significant part of the city's architectural and social history. The image is sourced from Annan's remarkable collection titled "The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow" which serves as a visual documentation of the city's past. In this photograph, we witness the conditions and community that existed within these narrow closes or alleyways. The houses lining both sides tell a story of poverty and slum living during the Victorian era. These tenements were home to many families struggling to make ends meet. Annan's lens captures not only their hardships but also reveals glimpses into their daily lives. From laundry hanging out to dry on lines strung across windows, to children playing in the street amidst dilapidated buildings - this snapshot offers an intimate look at life in one corner of Glasgow. As we delve into this archival gem, we are transported back in time; our senses can almost feel the atmosphere that once filled these streets. It serves as a reminder of how far cities like Glasgow have come since then - transforming from impoverished slums into thriving urban centers. This historical photograph stands as a testament to Thomas Annan's skillful eye for capturing not just architecture but also human stories within his frames. It allows us to reflect upon our progress while appreciating our shared heritage with Scotland’s vibrant past.
