EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia print captures a significant moment in history known as "Bloody Sunday": The life guards holding Trafalgar Square, 1887. Illustrated by the talented William Barnes Wollen, this engraving from Cassells Illustrated History of England transports us back to Victorian London. In this powerful image, we witness the imposing presence of the life guards on horseback, stationed at Trafalgar Square. Their noble steeds exude strength and elegance as they stand tall against the backdrop of Nelson's Column. These soldiers represent the armed forces during a time when demonstrations and protests were prevalent. The atmosphere is tense; you can almost feel it through the photograph. It serves as a reminder of an era marked by social unrest and political turmoil. The troops' stoic expressions reveal their readiness for any potential conflict that may arise during these challenging times. This print not only showcases historical significance but also highlights Wollen's exceptional talent in capturing movement and emotion within his artwork. Through his masterful use of sepia tones, he brings depth and texture to every detail, immersing viewers into this pivotal moment in British history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to Victorian London—a time when horses carried brave soldiers who protected order amidst chaos—an enduring symbol of resilience and determination that resonates even today.
