Tontine Building (Glasgow) 1891

"Tontine Building (Glasgow)" is a 1891 etching by Scottish artist David Young Cameron (1865-1945). The artwork captures a bustling city street in Glasgow, with the imposing Tontine Building taking center stage. The building's classical architecture with its ornate facade and columned portico is rendered in intricate detail, while the figures of pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages add a sense of lively movement to the scene. Cameron's masterful use of line and shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, making the print a compelling testament to the architectural grandeur of the city.
