Another gem of architectural detail found in Glasgow city centre, Scotland.
One of a pair of Atlantes taking the place of columns on a department store doorway.
The colossal building was designed by architect Horatio Kelson Bromhead (1838-1934) and regarded as his most important work. The building was originally the Stewart and MacDonald Warehouse in Argyle Street and latterly known as Frasers.
The Greek mythological figures of Atlas (bearded and bowed) were sculpted from Granite by W.Vickers between 1899 - 1903. Masons were P & W Anderson ltd.

Welcome! I am an Artist/Photographer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My interests are wide and varied and this is reflected in my subject matter. I enjoy finding the beauty in even the most mundane subjects and the challenge of depicting the small details which are sometimes overlooked. Where possible, I research my subjects to give me a better understanding, which in turn allows me to adapt my approach to each one. I do not restrict myself to any particular style or media as this gives me the freedom to create my vision on each individual piece. I hope you enjoy browsing my galleries as much as I have enjoyed creating the works. Copyright © Yvonne Johnstone 2024. All rights reserved. All artwork in this gallery is original and uniquely...
