Close No. 65 High Street (#13), Printed 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan in the early 1900s. The image depicts an alleyway, or "close," located in Glasgow, Scotland, with the numbered door of Close No. 65 High Street (#13) prominent in the foreground. The photograph offers a glimpse into the living conditions of the working and lower classes during this period, providing a poignant and historically significant record of urban life in Scotland during the 20th century. The photograph captures the perspective of the alleyway, with its paved surface, shuttered windows, and run-down buildings. The tenement housing, typical of the era, is cramped and overcrowded, with people of various ages and genders going about their daily lives. Two boys can be seen in the background, playing and interacting with each other, adding a sense of childhood innocence to the scene. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the social issues that existed during this time, including poverty, overcrowding, and the stark divide between the rich and the poor. The image also highlights the importance of preserving our urban heritage and the role that photography plays in documenting and understanding the history of our cities and communities. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical or social issue imagery, and its inclusion in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection is a testament to its significance as an important piece of Scottish and British heritage art. The image is a powerful reminder of the past, and its timeless quality continues to resonate with viewers today.
