History
The business was founded by Thomas Annan (1829-1887), a pioneering photographer working in Glasgow, who was to become famous for his collection of images of the city’s slums taken between 1868 and 1871 and published in the 1870s as the ‘Old Closes and Streets of Glasgow’. Thomas was later joined in business by his brother, Robert, when the company was renamed T. & R. Annan; and subsequently by Thomas’s son, James Craig. In September 1889 the firm was granted a royal warrant as ‘Photographers and Photographic Engravers to Her Majesty in Glasgow.’
