Battles Celebrations Centenary Commemorating Copenhagen Decorations Foot Lion Lions Nelson Trafalgar Wreath
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts one of the iconic lions that guard the foot of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, Central London. The image was captured during the Nelson Centenary Celebrations in 1905, marking the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and the Battle of Copenhagen. The historical significance of these battles, won by Admiral Horatio Nelson, is commemorated through the decorative wreaths and banners adorning the column and the surrounding area. The Edwardian era, in which this photograph was taken, is reflected in the elegant attire of the onlookers and the grandeur of the decorations. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the grand celebrations that marked this important anniversary. The lion in the photograph, with its proud and regal stance, adds to the sense of history and tradition. The lions at the base of Nelson's Column have been a part of London's landscape since 1867 and have become a symbol of the city's rich history and resilience. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Admiral Nelson and the battles that made him a hero. It offers a unique perspective on a significant moment in history and is a must-have for anyone with an interest in British history, London landmarks, or the Edwardian era.
