EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the work of Scottish photographer Thomas Annan, who captured the essence of Glasgow in 1878. Titled "Shawfield" this albumen silver print transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets of Scotland's largest city. Annan's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph. The composition expertly frames Shawfield, an area known for its industrial significance and vibrant atmosphere during that time period. The buildings stand tall and proud, their architectural beauty shining through despite signs of wear and tear. The use of albumen silver printing adds depth and richness to the image, enhancing its historical charm. This technique was popular during the late 19th century and involved coating paper with egg white mixed with light-sensitive chemicals before exposing it to sunlight or artificial light sources. As we explore this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets and people bustled about their daily lives. It serves as a reminder of how much has changed over the years while also highlighting Glasgow's enduring spirit. This print captures not only a moment but also tells a story—a testament to Thomas Annan's skill as both an artist and historian. It invites us to reflect on our own connection with history and appreciate how photography can preserve memories for generations to come.
