EDITORS COMMENTS
Saltmarket From Bridgegate (#33), Printed 1900" is a captivating photogravure by Thomas Annan, showcasing a narrow alleyway in the Saltmarket area of Glasgow, Scotland, during the early 1900s. The image provides a poignant glimpse into the urban landscape of the time, with its run-down tenements, peeling walls, and dimly lit lamps casting long shadows. The alley, lined with out houses and outhouses, leads the eye towards the distant Bridgegate, where a solitary figure can be seen making their way through the mist. Thomas Annan, a renowned Scottish photographer, captured the essence of the city's gritty reality, shedding light on the living conditions of the working class population. The image is a poignant reminder of the social issues that plagued the urban landscape during the 1900s, such as slum housing and poverty. The use of photogravure, a printing process that allowed for high-quality tonal range and detail, adds to the image's historical significance. The Saltmarket area, located in the heart of Glasgow, was known for its bustling markets and crowded streets. However, as seen in this photograph, the area also had its fair share of run-down tenements and narrow alleyways. The image invites the viewer to explore the hidden corners of the city, revealing the complexities and contrasts of urban life during the early 20th century. Today, "Saltmarket From Bridgegate (#33), Printed 1900" is an important addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a valuable insight into the history and heritage of Glasgow and Scotland as a whole. The image serves as a reminder of the past, while also highlighting the importance of preserving and documenting the social and architectural history of our cities.
