Trafalgar Square 21760_02
TRAFALGAR SQUARE, Westminster, London. Aerial view. The Battle of Trafalgar took place in 1805 and destroyed Napoleons hopes of invading Britain. The square was planned in the 1820s but was not named after the battle until 1830. The fountains were fed by an artesian well until the late 19th century, but are now fed from the mains and powered by electricity. The square has seen many political rallies, as well as being the scene of boisterous celebrations and outpourings of national pride on New Years Eve and major football matches

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of Trafalgar Square, located in the heart of Westminster, London, showcases the historical significance and grandeur of this iconic landmark. Named after the famous Battle of Trafalgar that occurred in 1805, where Napoleon's dreams of invading Britain were shattered, this square was planned in the 1820s but officially named after the battle only in 1830. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the majestic fountains that adorn Trafalgar Square. Originally fed by an artesian well until the late 19th century, these fountains now derive their water from mains supply and are powered by electricity. They serve as a symbol of both beauty and technological advancement. Throughout its existence, Trafalgar Square has witnessed numerous political rallies and gatherings. It has also become synonymous with exuberant celebrations on New Year's Eve and during major football matches when national pride spills over onto its hallowed grounds. This print from Historic England Archive captures not just an aerial perspective but also encapsulates a sense of naval history intertwined with urban development. The juxtaposition between historic events like the Battle of Trafalgar and modern-day city life is strikingly evident here. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but marvel at how Trafalgar Square continues to stand as a testament to British resilience while remaining an integral part of London's cultural fabric.
