EDITORS COMMENTS
Close Nos. 97 & 103 Saltmarket (#28), Printed 1900" is a captivating photograph taken by renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan. This image provides a poignant glimpse into the living conditions of the working class in Glasgow, Scotland during the late 19th century. The photograph depicts a narrow alleyway, sandwiched between two tall, cramped tenement buildings. The alleyway, known as the Saltmarket, is lined with people, mostly men, going about their daily business. The buildings, with their dark, weathered exteriors and small, barred windows, exude a sense of overcrowding and scarcity. The people in the photograph, dressed in their simple, drab clothing, add to the somber atmosphere. The photograph captures the stark reality of urban living conditions during this era, highlighting the social issues of poverty and class divide. Thomas Annan, a pioneer of Scottish photography, used the photogravure process to create this image. Annan's photograph is an important historical document, providing a window into the past and shedding light on the living conditions of the urban working class during the early 20th century. Today, this photograph is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), serving as a reminder of the rich cultural and historical heritage of Scotland and the United Kingdom. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the past and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations. It also serves as a reminder of the ongoing social issues that continue to plague urban areas around the world, making it a relevant and thought-provoking piece of art and history.
