EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic scene of The National Gallery and Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, London, around 1910. The National Gallery, established nearly a century earlier in 1824, proudly houses an internationally renowned art collection that continues to inspire visitors from all corners of the globe. Standing tall beside it is Nelson's Column, a magnificent monument designed by William Railton to honor Admiral Horatio Nelson's triumph at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The statue of Admiral Nelson himself was erected on top of this grand column in 1843, serving as a constant reminder of his heroic legacy. In the heart of this bustling square stands St Martin in the Fields church, adding a touch of serenity amidst the vibrant cityscape. Hand-colored with meticulous detail and care, this postcard-like image transports us back to early twentieth-century London. Its rich colors beautifully capture not only the architectural splendor but also evoke a sense of nostalgia for times gone by. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring appeal as one of London's most beloved tourist attractions. This image serves as a timeless testament to both Britain's cultural heritage and its position as an international hub for art and tourism.
