Victorian London from the Air: A Bird's Eye View of Trafalgar Square (circa 1900) This vintage photograph, taken from the Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective of Victorian London. The image captures Trafalgar Square from an aerial viewpoint, a sight rarely seen during the era. The photograph is estimated to have been taken around 1900, providing a glimpse into the early days of aviation and the city's evolving skyline. The iconic Trafalgar Square, located in the heart of London, England, is the focal point of this photograph. The square, named after the British naval victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, is adorned with its signature four lion statues at each corner, symbolizing the British Empire's power and strength. The photograph reveals the bustling activity below, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians moving about the square. The National Gallery, with its distinctive dome, stands proudly at the north end of the square, while the Admiralty Arch, guarding the entrance to The Mall, is visible at the northwest corner. The photograph's antique charm is further accentuated by the use of a lantern slide, a popular method for projecting images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image's slight distortion and grainy texture add to its vintage appeal, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and innovation. This aerial view of Victorian London, specifically Trafalgar Square, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's history and the early days of aviation. The photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and curiosity of the era, capturing the spirit of exploration and discovery that defined the Victorian and Edwardian periods.
