EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Heatwave in Trafalgar Square" taken on the 13th of June, 1976, we are transported back to a scorching summer day in London. As temperatures soared into the 80s once again, the iconic fountains at Trafalgar Square became an irresistible oasis for those seeking relief from the sweltering heat. Despite being aware of the law that strictly prohibits bathing in these historic fountains, people couldn't resist dipping their feet or splashing water onto their overheated faces. The allure of cool water against sun-kissed skin was simply too tempting to ignore. The image captures a moment frozen in time - individuals gathered around the fountain's edge, some sitting and others standing, all finding solace and respite amidst bustling city life. Their expressions reveal both relief and joy as they momentarily escape from the oppressive heatwave that had gripped London during that period. Arthur Sidey skillfully encapsulates not only a weather phenomenon but also a shared experience among city dwellers enduring extreme temperatures. This photograph serves as a reminder of how even simple pleasures like cooling off by a public fountain can bring people together during challenging times. As we gaze upon this snapshot from decades past, we are reminded of our own encounters with scorching summers and how communal spaces like Trafalgar Square continue to offer sanctuary amidst nature's relentless embrace.
