Close No. 11 Bridgegate (#44), Printed 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by Thomas Annan in the late 19th century, specifically in 1900. The image depicts an alleyway, located in the Bridgegate area of Glasgow, Scotland. The title "Close No. 11" refers to the number of the tenement building that the alleyway leads to. Thomas Annan, a renowned Scottish photographer, expertly captures the raw and authentic essence of urban life during the 1900s. The photograph showcases the exterior of a building with a perspective that draws the viewer into the scene. The architecture, with its intricate details and textures, stands as a testament to the historical heritage of Britain. The alleyway is filled with a diverse group of people, including children playing and women going about their daily tasks. The presence of barrels and barrels stacked against the wall adds to the sense of industry and commerce that permeated the area during this time. The photograph offers a glimpse into the social issues and living conditions of the working class in Scotland during the early 20th century. The image is a masterpiece of photogravure, a printing process that produces high-quality, detailed images with a rich tonal range. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical or social issue photography. Today, "Close No. 11 Bridgegate (#44), Printed 1900" is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and culture of Scotland and the world during the 1900s. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and documenting the stories of the past.
