Morton Gillespie — Glasgow 1960s series — 2 books

from £6.70

each book:

36 pages
printed in England
staple bound
14cm x 20cm

In 2021 Morton Gillespie sent a submission from his archive of Glasgow work. Morton died in 2023, part way through planning his books. Thanks to Malcolm at Street Level, and to Morton’s family, for their help.

Each book includes the same introduction, from Morton’s family, and the text below, written by Morton about the work.

"Glasgow born and bred, my early work would be described as “documentary” photography today. Despite my young age I was very much aware that Glasgow was slowly but surely starting its long transformation from its gritty industrial past with horrendous post war housing to eventually emerge as the modern vibrant cultural city that it has now become. The old tenements were being replaced by the brave new world of multi storey flats and new housing estates, the shipyards and steelworks were in decline and the docks were no longer full of ships – Glasgow was changing. Inspired by the works of Oscar Marzaroli I have re-visited these early images taken in the 1960’s and it became clear that we must have been exploring the same Glasgow locations resulting in a similarity in our images of the Gorbals, I suspect we may even have photographed the same children! The passing of time makes these images even more fascinating as they record a city and way of life that has gone forever – memories are made and preserved by old photographs of times past."
