EDITORS COMMENTS
Laigh Kirk Close (#23) is a captivating photograph printed in the year 1900, captured by the renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan. The image portrays a quaint and historic street scene in Glasgow, Scotland, with Laigh Kirk Close serving as the focal point. The cobbled street, lined with shops and buildings in various states of disrepair, exudes an air of old-world charm and character. At the heart of the scene, the number 23 on the wall of a building draws the eye, leading us to the shop front at the end of the close. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, illuminating the intricate details of the architecture, from the intricately carved stonework to the rusted iron railings. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of Glasgow and the lives of its people during the early 20th century. The shops, which once sold everything from groceries to school supplies, now stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time. The building at the end of the close, with its grand facade and ornate astronomy motifs, hints at the city's rich heritage in education and science. Laigh Kirk Close (#23) is a masterpiece of photographic art, showcasing the beauty and complexity of urban life in Scotland during a bygone era. The image has been preserved for future generations to appreciate and learn from, thanks to the efforts of Thomas Annan and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which holds this precious piece of history in its collection.
