EDITORS COMMENTS
Close No. 267 High Street (#41), Printed 1900" is an evocative photogravure by Thomas Annan, capturing the essence of Glasgow, Scotland's urban landscape during the early 20th century. The image portrays a narrow, sunlit alleyway, numbered as Close No. 267 High Street (#41), with a row of tenements lining each side. The brick buildings, with their dark, shadowy recesses, exude an air of history and heritage, while the sunlight filters in, casting intriguing patterns on the pavement. The scene is a poignant reminder of the living conditions of the working and lower classes during this period, with the overcrowding and lack of space evident in the cramped alleyway. Thomas Annan, a renowned Scottish photographer, expertly employs the medium of photogravure to create a striking contrast between light and dark, highlighting the intricacies of the architecture and the textures of the brickwork. The image also offers a glimpse into the social issues of the time, with the tenements serving as a symbol of the urban living conditions that were common in Scotland during the 1900s. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Glasgow, and a valuable addition to any collection focusing on urban landscapes, architecture, or social history. This image, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, invites viewers to explore the intricacies of the past and the stories that lie within the shadows of this historic alleyway.
