EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to February 1968, capturing a remarkable sight in the heart of London's iconic Trafalgar Square. Nelson's Column, standing tall and proud as ever, is shrouded by scaffolding meticulously erected for an important task - the cleaning off of years' worth of pigeon droppings that have accumulated on this historic monument. In this snapshot from the past, we witness a team of dedicated professionals fearlessly navigating their way up the towering structure. Their brave endeavor showcases both the dangerous nature of their work and their commitment to preserving London's architectural heritage. With brushes in hand and protective gear donned, they diligently scrub away at layers upon layers of grime left behind by countless pigeons who have made Nelson's Column their perch. The image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the constant efforts required to maintain our beloved landmarks. It symbolizes how even grand structures like Nelson's Column require periodic care and attention to retain their splendor for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph by Bruin from Memory Lane Prints, it transports us back to an era when preservation was paramount. We are reminded that behind every magnificent piece of architecture lies a team working tirelessly behind-the-scenes – unsung heroes ensuring that history remains intact amidst urban chaos.
