EDITORS COMMENTS
Close No. 101 High Street (#8), Printed 1900" is a captivating photogravure by Thomas Annan, showcasing an unassuming alleyway nestled between the buildings of Glasgow, Scotland's bustling High Street. The image, taken in the early 1900s, transports us back in time to the 20th century and the era of overcrowded urban living. The photograph reveals a narrow, dimly lit alley, bordered by tall, run-down tenements. Clothes hang out to dry from the windows and washing poles, while doors and doorways are adorned with intricate details, revealing a glimpse into the lives of the working-class residents. The buildings themselves, with their peeling paint and worn facades, speak to the passage of time and the wear and tear of daily life. The alleyway is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the High Street, offering a quiet respite from the bustling cityscape. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the living conditions of the urban population during this period, highlighting the social issues of overcrowding and poverty that were prevalent in Glasgow's neighborhoods. Thomas Annan, a renowned Scottish photographer, expertly captures the essence of this hidden corner of the city, revealing the beauty and complexity of the urban landscape. His photograph is a valuable addition to the historical record, offering a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the rich heritage of Glasgow and its people. This photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its importance in documenting the history of Scotland and the urban experience during the 20th century.
