EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Proposed Social Haven in Trafalgar Square: A Bar at the Feet of Landseer's Lion (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library, Date: 1941" 2. Amidst the somber backdrop of post-war Britain, the idea of brightening up Trafalgar Square with a cozy bar at the foot of one of Edwin Landseer's iconic lions was a humorous and social solution to the daily grind. This intriguing photograph, taken during World War II, captures the imagination by envisioning a much-needed respite for weary Londoners. 3. In this image, the grandeur of Trafalgar Square, with its historical significance and iconic landmarks, is juxtaposed with the simple pleasure of a local watering hole. The presence of the majestic lion statue, designed by Sir Edwin Landseer in 1840, adds a touch of historical charm to the scene. 4. The image, taken in 1941, offers a glimpse into the spirit of the British people during a time of hardship and uncertainty. The pigeons gathered around the lion statue, seemingly undisturbed by the proposed bar, symbolize the resilience and continuity of life amidst the chaos of war. 5. The idea of a bar in Trafalgar Square might seem like a fanciful notion, but it speaks to the importance of social amenities and the human need for connection and community. This photograph, with its blend of history, humor, and everyday life, serves as a poignant reminder of the power of imagination and the enduring spirit of the British people. 6. The photograph, (c) Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique perspective on post-war Britain and the desire for social amenities. It is a testament to the power of imagination and the enduring spirit of the British people, even in the face of adversity.
