EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Bell Street in Glasgow, Scotland during the 1870s. Captured by renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan, this image is part of his iconic collection titled "The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow". As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time when Bell Street was bustling with life. The architecture of the tenements and flats lining the street tells a story of a vibrant community that thrived amidst challenging social conditions. Intriguingly, Annan's lens also exposes the harsh realities faced by many residents living in these close-knit quarters. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the poverty and slums that plagued Victorian-era cities like Glasgow. Yet, despite these hardships, there is an undeniable sense of resilience emanating from this scene. The people who called Bell Street home created their own unique sense of community within these narrow streets. Through Annan's masterful photography, we are granted access to a chapter in history often overlooked – one that sheds light on both the struggles and triumphs experienced by those residing in urban areas during this period. This archival gem not only captures architectural details but also documents an important social narrative. It stands as a testament to Annan's skill as a photographer and provides us with valuable insights into our past.
