EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Trafalgar Square in London during the festive season. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent Christmas tree, generously donated by the people of Oslo, Norway to their British counterparts since 1947. Standing tall and proud amidst a sea of twinkling lights, it serves as a symbol of goodwill and friendship between nations. The fountains surrounding the tree add an element of tranquility to this bustling square, frozen in time by photographer Julian J Samuels in December 1948. The floodlit scene casts a magical glow over everything it touches, illuminating both architecture and nature alike. This archival photograph evokes nostalgia for simpler times when holiday traditions were cherished with great fervor. It reminds us that even amidst post-war challenges, joy could still be found in shared celebrations. As we gaze upon this timeless snapshot from Historic England's collection, we are transported back to a winter's night where dreams come alive under starry skies. Let us appreciate not only the artistry captured within this frame but also reflect on how such gestures of generosity can unite communities across borders during times both joyful and challenging.
