EDITORS COMMENTS
Close No. 28 Saltmarket (#25), Printed 1900" is a captivating photogravure by Thomas Annan, showcasing a narrow alleyway in the Saltmarket area of Glasgow, Scotland, from the early 20th century. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the urban landscape and social conditions of the era. Thomas Annan, a renowned Scottish photographer, expertly captured the texture and character of the brick buildings that line the alley, their weathered facades bearing the marks of time. The alley itself is a labyrinth of shadows, with the sun casting long, dramatic shadows on the ground, creating a sense of depth and mystery. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the living conditions in the tenements of Glasgow during the 1900s. Men in heavy coats and hats can be seen standing or milling about in the background, adding a sense of activity and life to the scene. The alleyway serves as a connector between the various buildings, revealing the intricate network of housing that once defined the city's urban fabric. This image is an essential piece of heritage art, offering a unique perspective on the history and social issues of Scotland during the 1900s. It is a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time, allowing future generations to connect with the past. Today, "Close No. 28 Saltmarket (#25), Printed 1900" can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history and culture of Scotland and the world.
