EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Glasgow in 1868. The lens of Thomas Annan, a Scottish photographer, captures the essence of Old Venel Close, an alley tucked away off High Street. The image portrays a scene that is both haunting and evocative. The dilapidated buildings lining the narrow street tell a story of poverty and hardship. Tenements rise high above, their worn facades reflecting years of wear and tear. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see men gathered on the street corner engaged in conversation while a child stands nearby, perhaps observing their every move. The atmosphere is palpable as one can almost feel the hustle and bustle that once filled these cobblestone streets. It's as if we are transported into another era where life was simpler yet more challenging. Through this photograph, Annan not only captures the physical aspects of Glasgow but also manages to convey its spirit and character. This piece serves as a reminder of our shared history and offers us an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come since those days. Whether you are drawn to its historical significance or simply appreciate its artistic value, this print is sure to be a thought-provoking addition to any collection or space it graces.
