EDITORS COMMENTS
Main Street, Gorbals, Looking North (#37)," a captivating monochrome photograph printed in 1900 by Thomas Annan, offers a glimpse into the past of Glasgow, Scotland. This historic image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, where the bustling streets of Gorbals come alive with a myriad of sights and sounds. The photograph showcases Main Street, looking north, with its intricately designed buildings and shopfronts lining the narrow, cobblestone street. The architecture is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Scotland, with the stone structures displaying ornate details and intricate patterns. The buildings house various shops, each with unique signage and displays, selling an array of goods from apparel to hosiery. The photograph also captures the everyday life of the people of Gorbals. Men and boys can be seen wearing traditional Scottish clothing, with their collared shirts and flat caps, while women and children are dressed in long, flowing skirts and blouses. The background is filled with a lively scene of people going about their daily routines, adding to the vibrant energy of the street. The photograph was taken using the photogravure process, a popular method of printing photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This technique produced high-quality, detailed images with excellent tonal range, making it an ideal choice for capturing the intricacies of the urban landscape. Today, "Main Street, Gorbals, Looking North (#37)" is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), serving as an important reminder of the rich history and heritage of Glasgow and Scotland. The photograph provides a fascinating insight into the past, showcasing the fashion, architecture, and daily life of a bygone era.
