EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Glasgow, Scotland. The image showcases Close No. 31 Saltmarket, a narrow alleyway lined with dilapidated tenements that were home to the city's working-class population during this era. Scottish photographer Thomas Annan skillfully captures the essence of Victorian poverty in this snapshot from his renowned collection, "The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow". Through his lens, we witness a community struggling amidst cramped living conditions and limited resources. The architecture tells a story of resilience as these buildings stand tall despite their worn-out appearance. Each window seems to hold secrets within its walls - stories of families striving for survival in an unforgiving urban environment. Annan's photograph serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those residing in the slums of Glasgow during this time. It sheds light on the social inequality prevalent in society and prompts reflection on how far we have come since then. As we gaze upon this historic scene, it is impossible not to feel a sense of admiration for Annan's ability to capture both beauty and hardship through his lens. This print serves as a testament to his talent as well as an important document preserving our collective history.
