EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this night view of Trafalgar Square in London, England, circa 1910. The iconic square, adorned with its historic statues and fountain, is transformed under the cover of darkness. Neon advertising signs, a relatively new addition to the urban landscape, cast an electric glow over the square, reflecting beautifully in the bubbly surface of the fountain. The water, illuminated by the vibrant lights, creates a mesmerizing ripple effect, adding to the atmospheric scene. In the foreground, the silhouette of a lion statue from one of the four lion guardians at the base of Nelson's Column stands proudly, its form contrasting against the bright lights. The Crosse & Blackwell sign, with its bubbly champagne and whisky advertisement, is particularly prominent, its reflection shimmering on the water. The intricate details of the neon signs and the intriguing interplay of light and shadow create a striking contrast to the traditional statues and architecture. This photograph, part of The Japics Historic Photography Collection, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the evolving urban landscape of London during the 1910s. The image invites us to ponder the juxtaposition of old and new, tradition and innovation, and the ever-changing nature of our cities.
