Corner of Duke Street & High Street (#39), Printed 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph taken by renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan. This aerial view captures the corner of two historic streets in Glasgow, Scotland, during the early 20th century. The image presents a stark contrast of architectural grandeur and urban decay. The photograph showcases the intersection of Duke Street and High Street, with Duke Street running diagonally from the bottom left and High Street stretching horizontally across the image. The buildings on both sides of the streets are a mix of various architectural styles, from ornate Victorian facades to more utilitarian structures. The image is dominated by the tall, imposing chimneys of the factories and tenements, which spew out plumes of smoke, symbolizing the industrial heart of the city. However, the photograph also reveals the harsh living conditions of the working-class residents. The buildings on the streets appear run-down and in disrepair, with peeling paint, broken windows, and overcrowded tenements. The narrow, winding streets and cramped living quarters speak to the overpopulation and social issues that plagued the city during this era. Thomas Annan's photograph is a poignant reminder of Glasgow's rich history and the social and economic challenges faced by its inhabitants during the 1900s. The image has been preserved for posterity in this stunning black and white print, and is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art as part of their extensive photography collection. This photograph is a testament to the power of photography as a means of documenting history and shedding light on the human condition.
