EDITORS COMMENTS
Princes Street From King Street (#24), Printed 1900" is a captivating photogravure by Thomas Annan, showcasing a view of Glasgow, Scotland's Princes Street from King Street, taken in the early 20th century. The image offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of the past, with its intricate architectural details and bustling streets teeming with life. The photograph captures the grandeur of the city's buildings, their facades adorned with intricate stonework and ornate features. The buildings on Princes Street, with their tall, imposing structures, stand in stark contrast to the narrow alleyway leading to King Street, which appears as a quaint, hidden passageway. The scene is filled with a diverse mix of people, both men and women, boys and girls, representing various social classes. The image captures the essence of urban life in Scotland during the 1900s, with people going about their daily routines, children playing, and men and women dressed in clothing typical of the era. The photograph also highlights the contrast between the grandeur of the city and the more humble living conditions of its residents. The alleyway leading to King Street, with its worn-out steps and narrow passage, offers a stark reminder of the living conditions of the working class in Scotland during this period. This photograph is an important historical and social document, offering insights into the urban landscape and social fabric of Glasgow during the early 20th century. Thomas Annan's masterful use of photography captures the essence of the city, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historic Scottish imagery. This photograph is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Scotland and its people.
