EDITORS COMMENTS
Close No. 80 High Street (#11) is a captivating photograph printed in 1900 by Thomas Annan. This image offers a glimpse into the past of Glasgow, Scotland, during the 1900s, showcasing an unnamed alleyway or back lane located in the city's historic center. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the living conditions of the working class during this era. The scene is filled with a sense of overcrowding and urban decay. Buildings line the narrow alley, their exteriors worn and run-down. The houses, some with laundry hanging out to dry, appear to be in various states of disrepair. The gutter in the foreground is filled with debris, and the streets are unclean, suggesting a lack of proper sanitation. People of all ages and genders are present in the photograph, adding to the sense of community and daily life in this neighborhood. A man is seen hanging clothes to dry from a line, while children play in the background. The image also reveals the stark contrast between the classes, with the well-dressed man in the background standing out against the rundown surroundings. The photograph, titled "Close No. 80 High Street (#11)," is a powerful reminder of the social issues and living conditions that existed during this period. It is a testament to the historical significance of Thomas Annan's work and the importance of preserving the past for future generations. This photograph is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and serves as a valuable addition to the museum's heritage art and historical photography holdings.
