EDITORS COMMENTS
Close No. 115 High Street (#7) is a captivating photograph printed in the year 1900, captured by the renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan. This photogravure image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the early 20th century in Glasgow, Scotland. The photograph depicts a narrow alleyway, or close, located off the High Street. The run-down tenement buildings on either side of the alleyway exude an air of neglect and decay, with peeling paint, broken windows, and rusted gutters. The doors, some with washing hanging out to dry, are a testament to the daily life of the working-class residents who once called this place home. The alleyway is lined with doors, some open, some closed, creating a sense of intimacy and privacy. The contrast between the dark, shadowy alley and the bright sunlight filtering in from the end of the close adds depth and texture to the image. The washing pole in the foreground, with clothes drying in the breeze, adds a touch of domesticity to the scene. The roofs of the buildings, with their varied textures and angles, add visual interest to the photograph. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the living conditions of the urban working class in Scotland during the early 1900s. The image is a valuable historical document, shedding light on the social issues of the time and offering a glimpse into the daily life of a bygone era. Today, this photograph is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit.
