EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Trafalgar Square in the 1930s, showcasing its rich historical significance. The image showcases a view of the square, with prominent landmarks such as the National Gallery, St Martin-in-the-Fields, and Nelson's Column standing tall against the cityscape. However, what makes this photograph truly intriguing is its connection to a bygone era. Before Trafalgar Square was constructed, this very location served as home to the royal mews where both horses and falcons were kept for King's use. This fascinating piece of history adds an extra layer of depth to an already iconic London landmark. The monochrome aesthetic enhances the architectural beauty of the buildings surrounding Trafalgar Square while highlighting their intricate details. The presence of sculptures and fountains further accentuates its artistic charm. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when horse-drawn carriages roamed these streets and falcons soared above our heads. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, remnants of our past continue to shape our present. This remarkable print from "Wonderful London" allows us to appreciate not only Trafalgar Square's grandeur but also its historical roots. It invites us to reflect on how much has changed over time while marveling at how certain elements have remained constant throughout centuries.
