EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Trafalgar Square in the Ice Age: A Vision of Past and Present Trafalgar Square, the heart of London and a symbol of British history, stands as a stark contrast to the prehistoric scene unfolding before it in this image. The discovery of fossil bones beneath the square, including those of hippos, aurochs, red deer, and mammoths, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Ice Age. This enchanting print invites us to imagine the square as it once was, teeming with life and inhabited by creatures long since vanished from these shores. The mighty hippos, their massive bodies submerged in the icy waters of the Thames, share the landscape with the powerful aurochs, their shaggy coats a stark contrast to the barren, snow-covered terrain. Red deer roam the area, their agile forms dwarfed by the colossal mammoths, their long, curved tusks jutting out menacingly. Beyond the prehistoric scene, the vision of Nelson's Column emerges, a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of humanity. The column, a symbol of British triumph and victory, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Ice Age, a reminder that even in the face of the harshest conditions, life continues to thrive. This fantastical image invites us to ponder the rich history of Britain and the incredible journey of evolution that has shaped the land and its inhabitants. The past and present converge in Trafalgar Square, offering a captivating reminder of the ever-changing tapestry of life.
