EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Close No. 139 Saltmarket" by Thomas Annan takes us back to the bustling streets of Glasgow, Scotland in the late 19th century. The image, captured in 1868 and printed as a photogravure in 1900, measures approximately 21.8 x 17.4 cm. The photograph showcases an intimate view of a narrow alleyway known as a "close" which was a common feature of Scottish architecture during that time period. The close is located on Saltmarket street, adding historical significance to this piece. Thomas Annan, a renowned Scottish photographer from the mid-1800s to early 1900s, masterfully captures the essence of urban life within this frame. The play of light and shadows adds depth and mystery to the scene while highlighting intricate architectural details such as windows and doorways. Through this image, we are transported into another era - one where horse-drawn carriages traversed these cobblestone streets and pedestrians went about their daily lives amidst tightly packed buildings. The photogravure technique used for printing enhances the texture and tonal range of this artwork, giving it an almost painterly quality that further immerses us in its atmosphere. This print from Liszt Collection offers viewers a glimpse into history through Thomas Annan's lens; it serves as both an artistic masterpiece and valuable documentation of Glasgow's past.
