EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Laigh Kirk Close" by Thomas Annan takes us back to the streets of Glasgow, Scotland in the late 19th century. The image captures a narrow alleyway known as Laigh Kirk Close, bathed in an ethereal light that adds a sense of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Thomas Annan, a renowned Scottish photographer from the 1800s, expertly composed this photograph using his keen eye for detail and composition. The negative was taken in 1868 but it wasn't until 1900 that this particular print was created through the technique of photogravure. Measuring at approximately 22.3 × 17.7 cm (8 3/4 × 6 15/16 inches), this small yet powerful piece transports viewers into another era. The intricate details captured by Annan's lens allow us to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of old Glasgow, imagining what life might have been like for its inhabitants during that time. The use of photogravure further enhances the texture and depth within the image, giving it an almost painterly quality. It is evident that every element within this composition has been carefully considered - from the play of light and shadow on weathered stone walls to the winding path leading our gaze deeper into Laigh Kirk Close. As we admire this remarkable work from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as a window into Scotland's past.
