EDITORS COMMENTS
"The Back Wynd (#48) is a captivating photograph taken by Thomas Annan in 1900, showcasing a bustling alleyway in Glasgow, Scotland. This historic image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the city's working and unemployed classes. The cobbled alley, known as a 'wynd,' is lined with narrow, terraced houses, some of which display evidence of wear and decay. In the foreground, a group of children play and interact, while adults, both men and women, can be seen going about their day. The scene is filled with a sense of community and shared experience, as people from various social classes navigate the confined space. The photograph's title, #48, likely refers to the number of the building at the alley's entrance. This evocative image, printed using the photogravure process, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photography, offering insights into urban life during an era of significant social and economic change in Britain." Thomas Annan (1829-1907) was a renowned Scottish photographer known for his documentation of Glasgow's urban landscape and its inhabitants. His work, which includes both color and black and white images, provides a rich record of the city's history and social fabric. The Back Wynd (#48) is a testament to Annan's skill in capturing the essence of a place and its people, making it a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Glasgow or urban photography. This photograph is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
