"Print 1900: A Glimpse into the Streets of Saltmarket, London" Step back in time to the bustling streets of Saltmarket in London, captured through the lens of Scottish photographer Thomas Annan. Known for his remarkable documentation of urban life, Annan's prints from 1900 offer a captivating glimpse into this vibrant cityscape. One such print transports us to Bridgegate Corner Market Street, where the energy and liveliness of everyday life are palpable. The hustle and bustle is further echoed in Close No 28 and Close No 61 on Saltmarket, as Annan skillfully captures the essence of these narrow passageways. In another print titled "Trongate Olden Time, " we are transported even further back in history to 1829. This image showcases Annan's ability to capture not only moments frozen in time but also the evolution and transformation that cities undergo over decades. As we explore more prints by Annan, we find ourselves immersed in various corners of Glasgow. Close No 31 on Saltmarket reveals a hidden world within its walls while Closes Nos 97 and 103 provide glimpses into intimate spaces that were once teeming with life. Princes Street King Street takes us beyond mere street scenes; it offers a window into people's lives – their hopes, dreams, struggles – all frozen within each frame. Meanwhile, Close No 29 on Gallowgate invites us to wander down memory lane as we witness yet another facet of Glasgow's rich history. Annan's work extends beyond capturing buildings and streets; he delves deeper into society itself. His portrayal of Gallowgate serves as a testament to both his talent as an artist and his dedication to documenting Scotland's past between the years 1829-1887. Finally, our journey concludes at Tontine Building Trongate – an architectural marvel that stands tall amidst changing times.
