EDITORS COMMENTS
Close No. 61 Saltmarket (#27), Printed 1900" is a captivating photograph by Thomas Annan that offers a glimpse into the past of Glasgow, Scotland during the late 19th century. The image, taken from the renowned photographer's series of "The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow," depicts the exterior of a tenement building located in the Saltmarket area. The building, which appears to be in a state of disrepair, is surrounded by a chaotic scene of laundry hanging out to dry, people going about their daily business, and a man in the foreground, seemingly deep in thought as he leans against a wall. The photograph captures the stark reality of living conditions in the urban slums of Glasgow during this period. The tenement buildings, which were often overcrowded and lacked basic amenities, were home to the working and lower classes. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the social issues and class divisions that were prevalent in Scotland during this time. The photograph was taken using the photogravure process, a method that allowed for high-quality reproductions of detailed images. The resulting print showcases the intricate architectural details of the building, from the ornate window frames to the intricately patterned walls. Despite the run-down appearance of the building, the photograph showcases the beauty and history of Glasgow's urban landscape. Today, "Close No. 61 Saltmarket (#27), Printed 1900" is held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it serves as an important historical and artistic artifact. The image continues to captivate audiences with its raw depiction of life in Glasgow during the 1900s and its enduring significance as a piece of social and architectural history.
