EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and elegance of London's National Gallery on Trafalgar Square, as it appeared around the turn of the twentieth century. The image, estimated to have been taken in October 1903, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time over a century ago. The National Gallery, an iconic cultural institution, is prominently displayed against the backdrop of the bustling square. The imposing neoclassical building, with its porticoed facade and intricate architectural details, stands proudly amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. The gallery, which first opened its doors to the public in 1824, is home to an extensive collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to the 1900s. Trafalgar Square, named after the famous naval victory in 1805, is a vibrant and lively hub of activity. In this photograph, we see horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians filling the square, adding to the sense of energy and movement. The majestic lion and Trafalgar Square's fountains, which were added in 1845, can be seen in the foreground, completing the scene. The photograph's muted colors and soft focus create a sense of nostalgia, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of London during this period. This image offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and beauty of one of the world's greatest cities.
