EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Trafalgar Square London October 1977" we are transported back in time to witness a unique moment in the bustling heart of London. The iconic pigeons that usually grace Trafalgar Square had to find an alternative roosting spot on this particular morning. Why, you may ask? Well, it was none other than the yearly wash and brush up for the statues in preparation for the grand Trafalgar Day ceremony. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we see diligent workmen meticulously scrubbing away years' worth of pigeon droppings from these majestic sculptures. The pigeons themselves seem intrigued by this unusual sight, perched atop Major General Sir Henry Havelock's statue as if observing their own kingdom being restored to its former glory. The photograph captures not only a historical moment but also showcases Alisdair Macdonald's keen eye for detail and his ability to immortalize everyday scenes with artistic finesse. Through his lens, he transports us into a different era – the 1970s – where photography and film were still developing mediums. This stunning print serves as a reminder of how even mundane tasks can become extraordinary when viewed through the lens of history. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty of Trafalgar Square and those who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to preserve its splendor.
