EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the bustling streets of Glasgow in 1794. The image, captured by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to explore the historical significance of Argyll Street. The print showcases various portions of Argyll Street, a vibrant thoroughfare that played a pivotal role in shaping the city's history. As we delve into this scene, we are transported to a time when horse-drawn carriages traversed its cobblestone paths and pedestrians bustled about their daily lives. From Queen Street to Miller Street, Cow Loan to Turner's Court, each corner reveals glimpses of life as it was over two centuries ago. St Enoch Square stands proudly at one end while Maxwell Street adds its own charm further down the road. As we study this remarkable piece of artistry, our imagination runs wild with stories and tales that these streets could tell. We can almost hear echoes of conversations between merchants conducting business or children playing games amidst these historic walls. Preserved within private collections for years, this engraving is now brought back to life thanks to Look and Learn's dedication in sharing such treasures with art enthusiasts around the world. It serves as a reminder not only of Glasgow's rich heritage but also highlights how much has changed since those early days on Argyll Street. Let this print transport you through time as you immerse yourself in Glasgow's fascinating past – where history comes alive through every stroke
