Back Wynd From Trongate (#47), Printed 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photogravure by Thomas Annan, showcasing a narrow alleyway or "wynd" located in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland. The image, taken in the early 1900s, transports us back in time to the urban landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The scene is a stark contrast of architecture and disrepair, with dilapidated buildings lining the alley, their facades adorned with peeling paint and debris. The alleyway is filled with a sense of history and the passage of time, as evidenced by the worn-down pavement and the rubble that litters the ground. Three people can be seen in the image, seated on the steps of a building, engaged in conversation. Their presence adds a sense of life and activity to the otherwise desolate scene. The children playing in the background, clad in ragged clothing, further emphasize the social issues that were prevalent during this era. The alleyway, or "wynd," was likely a common feature in many Scottish neighborhoods during this time, serving as a means of transportation and a connection between buildings in densely populated areas. This photograph, taken by Thomas Annan, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the urban living conditions of Scotland during the 1900s. The image is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), serving as an important historical and artistic record of a bygone era. The photograph's timeless quality and social commentary make it a valuable addition to any collection, inspiring reflection on the past and the passage of time.
