EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Close No. 61 Saltmarket" by Scottish photographer Thomas Annan takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Glasgow, Scotland in the late 19th century. The image, captured in 1868 and printed as a photogravure in 1900, showcases Annan's exceptional talent for documenting urban life. The narrow close depicted in the photograph is filled with intriguing details that transport viewers to another era. The worn cobblestones underfoot hint at countless footsteps taken by residents and visitors alike. The dilapidated buildings on either side of the close tell stories of their own, revealing layers of history etched into their weathered facades. Annan's composition skillfully captures both light and shadow, creating a sense of depth within this confined space. Sunlight streams through an opening above, casting dramatic rays onto the ground below while leaving parts of the scene shrouded in darkness. As we gaze upon this timeless snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but wonder about the lives that once unfolded within these walls. Were they filled with joy or hardship? Laughter or tears? This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that every corner holds its own secrets and narratives waiting to be discovered. Thomas Annan's "Close No. 61 Saltmarket" stands as a testament to his mastery as a photographer and his ability to capture not just images but also emotions from long ago. It invites us to step into history and immerse ourselves in
