EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photogravure by Thomas Annan, showcasing a narrow alleyway or "close" in Glasgow, Scotland, from the early 1900s. The image transports us back in time to the urban landscape of the British city during the 20th century. The tenement building at the end of the alleyway appears run-down, with peeling paint and worn-out facade, reflecting the living conditions of the working and lower classes during this era. People of all ages and genders can be seen going about their daily routines in the background. A man hangs clothes out to dry on a line stretched across the alley, while women carry baskets or chat with neighbors. The scene is a poignant reminder of the social issues surrounding housing and class in Scotland during this period. The alleyway itself is paved and narrow, with tall buildings on either side, creating a sense of enclosure and intimacy. The image is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Glasgow, and the challenges faced by its residents during this time. Thomas Annan, a renowned Scottish photographer, captured this moment in time with exceptional detail and nuance, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historic photography or urban landscapes. This image is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the past and the complexities of urban life.
