Heatwave in Trafalgar Square. As the temperatures soared into the 80s again today
Heatwave in Trafalgar Square. As the temperatures soared into the 80s again today, the cool fountains in Trafalgar Square were even more tempting to the people sitting around them, inspire of the law which says it is illegal to bathe in them. 13th June 1976

Fountain Heat Heatwave Landmark Trafalgar Square 1976
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. 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
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.
