EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Elphinstone Tower standing tall on Man Street in Gorbals, Glasgow. Taken between 1868 and 1899 by T. & R. Annan & Sons, this image is a testament to the rich social history of Britain during that era. The tower itself dominates the scene, with its imposing structure reaching towards the sky. Surrounding it are rows of houses and shops, showcasing the bustling activity of everyday life in this vibrant neighborhood. The pavement below is filled with people going about their daily routines, creating a sense of movement and energy. Notably, one can spot a hosiery shop among the various establishments lining Man Street. This detail offers a glimpse into the economic activities taking place at that time. Glasgow's Gorbals district has always been known for its distinctive architecture and close-knit community spirit. This photograph beautifully captures both aspects as it showcases not only Elphinstone Tower but also other buildings that contribute to the unique character of this area. As we observe this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to experience a slice of Scottish history. It serves as a reminder of how much our surroundings have changed while also highlighting elements that remain timeless - such as human interaction within urban landscapes. This photograph is part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection today but continues to be an invaluable resource for those interested in exploring Scotland's past through photography.
