EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Thomas Annan showcases the Elphinstone Tower on Main Street in Gorbals, Glasgow. The Scottish photographer, born in 1829 and passing away in 1887, beautifully captures the essence of this historic landmark. Taken in 1868 and printed in 1900 using the photogravure technique, this image measures approximately 22.8 by 18 cm (9 by 7 1/16 inches). The Elphinstone Tower stands tall against a backdrop of bustling city life, serving as a testament to Glasgow's rich history and architectural heritage. Its imposing presence commands attention as it overlooks Main Street with an air of grandeur. Annan's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, accentuating the tower's intricate details and textures. The photogravure printing method further enhances these qualities, resulting in a stunning visual representation that transports viewers back to Victorian-era Scotland. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how photography can preserve moments frozen in time for future generations to appreciate. This particular print serves as both a historical record and a work of art—a testament to Annan's talent behind the lens.
