EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Greenwich Hospital School boys in Trafalgar Square" takes us back to the heart of 19th-century London. The image captures a momentous occasion during The Thanksgiving Day celebrations in 1872. Published in the Illustrated London News, this print showcases the jubilant atmosphere that engulfed Trafalgar Square on that memorable day. In the foreground, we see a group of young boys from Greenwich Hospital School, their faces beaming with excitement and joy. They are surrounded by men and women who have gathered to witness this grand spectacle. The square is filled with people of all ages, eagerly participating in the festivities. Trafalgar Square itself serves as an impressive backdrop for this scene. Its iconic landmarks - Nelson's Column and the National Gallery - stand tall amidst the bustling crowd. The architecture exudes a sense of history and grandeur, perfectly complementing the spirit of celebration. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, it becomes evident how significant these events were for both children and adults alike. This engraving encapsulates not only a specific moment but also reflects broader themes such as community unity and gratitude. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this snapshot from yesteryears; it allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in an era long gone but forever etched within our collective memory.
