EDITORS COMMENTS
Close No. 128 Saltmarket (#30), Printed 1900" is a captivating photogravure by Thomas Annan, showcasing the exterior of a tenement building located in the Saltmarket neighborhood of Glasgow, Scotland, during the early 1900s. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the living conditions of the working class community during this era. The photograph captures the unadorned facade of the building, with its narrow doors and windows, and the worn-out gutter system that runs along the edge of the roof. The cart and horse parked outside add to the bustling urban scene, while the people and their belongings scattered around the entranceway hint at the cramped living quarters within. The Saltmarket area of Glasgow was known for its slum housing, and this image provides a stark reminder of the social issues faced by the working class population during this time. The lack of color in the photograph emphasizes the monotony and uniformity of the buildings, while the contrast between the white walls and the dark doorways highlights the stark contrast between the interior and exterior spaces. This photograph is an important historical document, offering insight into the urban landscape and social conditions of Glasgow during the early 20th century. It is a testament to Thomas Annan's ability to capture the essence of a place and its people, and serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history of Scotland. The photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photography or social commentary. The image continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into a time and place that may be long gone but remains an important part of our collective history.
