Close No. 148 High Street (#5), Printed 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photogravure by Thomas Annan, showcasing a narrow alleyway in Glasgow, Scotland, from the early 1900s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the urban landscape and social conditions of the past. Thomas Annan, a renowned Scottish photographer, expertly captures the essence of this back lane, located in the heart of the city. The buildings on either side of the alley appear run-down and worn, with peeling paint and hanging laundry drying in the breeze. The tenements, typical of the working-class housing in Glasgow during this era, exude a sense of history and heritage. The alleyway, a common feature in urban areas during the 1900s, is a stark contrast to the bustling High Street just a stone's throw away. The narrow, dark passageway offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who once called these buildings their homes. The laundry hanging outside the windows is a testament to the daily chores and hardships faced by the residents. The photogravure, with its intricate detail and tonal range, beautifully highlights the textures and patterns of the brickwork and the rough surfaces of the buildings. The image is a poignant reminder of the social issues and class divisions that were prevalent during this time in Britain. Today, "Close No. 148 High Street (#5), Printed 1900" is a valuable historical art piece, housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The image continues to inspire and educate us about the past, offering insights into the urban landscape and social conditions of a bygone era. The photograph is a testament to Thomas Annan's skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
