Old Vennel Off High Street (#2), Printed 1900
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by Thomas Annan, showcasing a narrow alleyway, or "vennel," located in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland during the early 1900s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the historic and often overlooked corners of this bustling city. The cobbled alleyway, lined with run-down buildings, exudes an air of hardship and overcrowding that was common in the working-class neighborhoods of the time. The perspective of the photograph, looking down the alley, invites us to explore the intricacies of this urban landscape. On the left side of the alley, a general store with hanging signs and laundry lines can be seen, while on the right, a woman in traditional Scottish attire is seen carrying a basket of laundry, adding a sense of daily life to the scene. Children play in the background, adding a touch of innocence and joy to the image. The buildings, with their peeling paint and worn facades, speak to the passage of time and the challenges faced by the residents of this neighborhood. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the social issues and class distinctions that were prevalent during this era. This photograph, now held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to Thomas Annan's ability to capture the essence of a moment in history and preserve it for future generations. The image invites us to reflect on the past and consider the ways in which our cities and communities have evolved over time.
