EDITORS COMMENTS
Broad Close No. 167 High Street (#3) is a captivating photogravure print taken by renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan in the year 1900. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the urban landscape of Glasgow, Scotland during the early 20th century. The photograph depicts the exterior of a tenement building located at 167 High Street, with a focus on the cobbled street and the worn-out, yet intricately designed, housing structure. The men in the foreground, dressed in typical attire of the era, add a sense of authenticity to the scene. The washing pole in the center of the image serves as a reminder of the daily chores and simple pleasures of life during this time. The perspective of the photograph, with its distinctive use of contrast and tone, creates a captivating sense of depth and texture. This photograph is a poignant representation of the historic housing conditions in Glasgow during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often referred to as the 'slums' of Scotland. Despite the challenging living conditions, the image also conveys a sense of resilience and community among the residents. Broad Close No. 167 High Street (#3) is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photography or art, offering a unique insight into the urban landscape and social history of Glasgow during this period. This print is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) extensive collection, highlighting the importance of preserving and sharing our heritage for future generations.
