Elphinstone Tower, Main Street, Gorbals (#38), Printed 1900

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by renowned Scottish photographer Thomas Annan. This image provides a poignant glimpse into the past, offering a stark portrayal of living conditions in Glasgow, Scotland during the early 1900s. The photograph depicts Elphinstone Tower, a tenement building located on Main Street in the Gorbals area. The tower, with its run-down appearance, stands tall against the backdrop of a grey and overcast sky. The building's exterior is adorned with hanging laundry, while windows are open, revealing the interior of the cramped living quarters. The courtyard below is filled with outhouses and laundry facilities, further emphasizing the crowded living conditions. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the urban overcrowding and slum housing that was prevalent during this era. Thomas Annan, a pioneering figure in Scottish photography, captured this image using the photogravure process, a technique that produced high-quality, detailed prints. Annan's work was instrumental in documenting the social issues of the time, providing a visual record of the harsh realities faced by the working-class population in Glasgow. Today, this photograph is an essential piece of heritage art, held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It serves as a powerful reminder of the past, offering insights into the history and social issues of Glasgow during the 20th century. The image continues to resonate with viewers, inspiring reflection and appreciation for the progress that has been made in addressing housing and social issues.
