EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Glasgow in the 19th century. The intricate engraving showcases a myriad of iconic landmarks, each telling its own story within this historical tapestry. From the grand County Buildings and majestic College to the vibrant George Square and lively Bazaar, every corner of Glasgow is brought to life through meticulous detail. The Tontine Buildings stand proudly alongside the Infantry Barracks, while the City Hall exudes an air of importance amidst its surroundings. The Victoria Bridge and Suspension Foot Bridge connect different parts of the city, symbolizing unity and progress. Meanwhile, institutions like St Rollox Chemical Works and Normal School remind us of Glasgow's industrial prowess and commitment to education. As we explore further into this visual journey, we encounter various churches such as St Andrews Church, St Georges Church, and St Davids Church - testaments to Glasgow's rich religious heritage. Not far away stands Nelson's Monument overlooking it all with unwavering grace. Yet amidst these architectural marvels lies a poignant reminder of human struggle - sightless eyes that represent disability in all its forms. This inclusion serves as a powerful testament to both society's progress in embracing diversity but also highlights our collective responsibility towards those who face challenges every day. Overall, this print from Bridgeman Images captures not only the physical beauty but also the complex history embedded within Glasgow's streets. It invites viewers on a journey through time while reminding us that even amid grandeur, compassion for one another remains essential.
