This authentic 1950s colour photograph provides a detailed view of one of the bronze sculptures designed by Sir Charles Wheeler for the Trafalgar Square fountains. Installed in 1948 as part of the memorial to Admirals Jellicoe and Beatty, the sculpture depicts a mermaid with a fish-like tail wrestling with a dolphin. The vibrant blue water of the fountain basin provides a sharp contrast to the green patina of the bronze. In the background, the stone base of an equestrian statue and a passing red double-decker bus can be seen through the misty spray of the water. This archival print is a beautiful record of mid-century London’s public art and serves as an excellent resource for researchers, editorial use, or to print for yourself as a unique piece of vintage wall art.
