EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Close No 83 High Street" by Thomas Annan takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Glasgow, Scotland in the late 19th century. The image showcases a narrow close or alleyway, revealing a slice of everyday life during that era. Annan's keen eye for detail and composition is evident as he captures the intricate architecture and worn cobblestones of this historic street. The play of light and shadows adds depth to the scene, drawing our attention to the various doorways and windows lining both sides of the close. As we gaze at this photograph, we can't help but imagine what stories lie behind each entrance - perhaps families going about their daily routines or merchants preparing their shops for another day of trade. It serves as a poignant reminder that history is not just made up of grand events but also shaped by ordinary people living their lives within these walls. The carbon print technique used by Annan enhances the richness and texture of this image, giving it an almost timeless quality. This particular print was created in 1877 from a negative taken between 1868 and 1871. Overall, "Close No 83 High Street" offers us a glimpse into Glasgow's past, inviting us to explore its hidden corners and unravel its untold stories.
