The Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow, Thomas Annan's photographic record of this central section of the city prior to its demolition in accordance with the City of Glasgow Improvements Act of 1866, is widely recognized as a classic of nineteenth-century documentary photography. Annan's achievement as a photographer of paintings, portraits and landscapes is less widely known. Thomas Annan of Glasgow: Pioneer of the Documentary Photograph offers a handy, comprehensive and copiously illustrated overview of the full range of the photographer's work. The book opens with a brief account of the immediate context of Annan's career as a photographer: the astonishing florescence of photography in Victorian Scotland. Successive chapters deal with each of the main fields of his activity, touching along the way on issues such as the nineteenth-century debate over the status of photography?a mechanical practice or an artistic one??and the still ongoing controversies surrounding the documentary photograph in particular. While the text itself is intended for the general reader, extensive endnotes amplify particular themes and offer guidance to readers interested in pursuing them further. 606 $aStreets$zScotland$zGlasgow$vPictorial works 606 $aPhotographers$zScotland$xHistory 606 $aPhotography$zScotland$zGlasgow$xHistory 606 $aDocumentary photography$zScotland$zGlasgow$xHistory 607 $aGlasgow (Scotland)$xHistory$vPictorial works 610 $aphotography 610 $avictorian scotland 610 $aglasgow 610 $aportraits 610 $athomas annan 610 $adocumentary 610 $alandscapes 610 $aEdinburgh 610 $aLoch Katrine 610 $aLondon 615 0$aStreets 615 0$aPhotographers$xHistory. 615 0$aPhotography$xHistory. 615 0$aDocumentary photography$xHistory. 676 $a779.99141443 700 $aGossman$b Lionel$0213055 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156256403321 996 $aThomas Annan of Glasgow$92083225 997 $aUNINA
