EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically the year 1883, when a momentous public ceremony was held in George Square, Victorian Glasgow. The occasion marked the laying of the foundation stone for what would become one of Glasgow's most iconic municipal buildings - the City Chambers. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn to a bustling crowd that has gathered in anticipation of witnessing this significant event. The square is teeming with spectators from all walks of life; men and women dressed in their finest attire, children perched on their parents' shoulders, and even some horse-drawn carriages adding an air of grandeur. The atmosphere captured within this image is palpable - a mix of excitement and pride fills the air as people eagerly await the commencement of proceedings. It is evident that this ceremony holds great importance for both Glaswegians and visitors alike. Through this photograph's timeless charm, we are transported back to an era where such public events were celebrated with utmost enthusiasm. It serves as a poignant reminder of Glasgow's rich history and its commitment to progress during the Victorian era. Memory Lane Prints allows us to cherish these glimpses into our past by preserving them through high-quality prints like these. This particular image encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in Glasgow's architectural heritage but also showcases how photography can transport us across time and evoke emotions long forgotten.
