Steeg bij High Street in Glasgow 1868 - 1877

"Steeg bij High Street in Glasgow" is a photographic work by Thomas Annan, taken between 1868 and 1877. The photograph captures a narrow, cobbled alleyway in Glasgow, Scotland, showcasing the city's working-class neighborhoods in the late 19th century. Annan's meticulous attention to detail and sharp focus evoke the grim reality of urban poverty, making this a powerful example of social documentary photography. Annan's photographic series, "The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow," provides a glimpse into the harsh living conditions of the city's poor during the Industrial Revolution.
