Close No. 267 High Street 1897

"Close No. 267 High Street" is a 1897 platinum print by Scottish photographer James Craig Annan. The image shows a narrow, cobblestone alleyway in Glasgow, Scotland. The composition is simple, yet powerful, with a strong sense of depth and perspective created by the receding steps. The muted tones and sharp detail typical of Annan's work are on display here. This piece exemplifies Annan's photographic style, which focused on the beauty and everyday details of urban life, particularly in his native Scotland. The photograph is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
