EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the late 1890s, as we gaze upon a corner of Trafalgar Square in London. The photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, showcases the iconic fountain and statue at the right-hand side of the square, their grandeur reflected in the still, tranquil water. Trafalgar Square, one of London's most famous public spaces, has long been a hub of activity and cultural significance. The square, named after the British naval victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, is home to numerous historic landmarks, including the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. In this photograph, the ornate fountain, designed by Sir Charles Barry and completed in 1844, takes center stage. The statue of Admiral Horatio Nelson, atop its column, gazes out towards the Thames, a symbol of British naval power and victory. The reflections in the water add an extra layer of depth and intrigue, as they mirror the intricate details of the fountain and statue. The lanterns, which can be seen in the background, add a sense of warmth and coziness, as they cast a gentle glow over the scene. The overall effect is one of peace and tranquility, a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of Trafalgar Square in the late 1800s. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that London has to offer, and the enduring appeal of its historic landmarks.
