EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by Thomas Annan in the early 1900s. The image portrays a stretch of the High Street in Glasgow, Scotland, featuring the facades of buildings numbered 17 to 27. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the historic architecture of the city during a time when the buildings were starting to show signs of disrepair. Thomas Annan, a renowned Scottish photographer of the 20th century, expertly captures the character of the city through his lens. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Glasgow, with each building revealing its unique character and charm. The shopfronts, adorned with intricate signage and display windows, show evidence of daily life in the city. The photograph is particularly noteworthy for its use of photogravure, a printing process that produces high-quality, detailed images. The technique allows for an exceptional level of contrast, bringing out the textures and details of the buildings and the people who populate the scene. The image is set against the backdrop of a bustling city street, with men in traditional Scottish attire going about their daily business. The pavement is filled with activity, as people walk along the sidewalk, and a man stands on the corner, seemingly deep in thought. The crumbling facades of the buildings, some with missing bricks and faded signage, provide a stark contrast to the vibrant city life unfolding around them. Today, this photograph is a cherished piece of historical art, housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) as part of their extensive collection. It offers a unique perspective into the past, providing a glimpse into the urban landscape and daily life of Glasgow during the early 1900s. The photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our historic buildings and the stories they hold.
