EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Close, High Street, Glasgow, Scotland, 1870s" transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian-era Glasgow. Taken by renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan (1829-1887), this image is part of his iconic series "The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow". In this particular shot, we are presented with a narrow close or alleyway located at 115 High Street. The dilapidated tenements lining both sides of the street serve as a stark reminder of the harsh living conditions endured by many during that era. The architecture exudes an undeniable sense of history and character. Annan's lens skillfully captures the essence of poverty and slum life prevalent in industrial cities like Glasgow during the late 19th century. The cramped flats and apartments housed communities struggling to make ends meet amidst challenging social conditions. As we gaze upon this historical archive piece, it is impossible not to feel a mix of emotions – empathy for those who lived through such hardships but also admiration for Annan's ability to document these realities so poignantly through photography. This print serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and strength exhibited by individuals residing in these impoverished areas while shedding light on an important chapter in Scotland's history.
