This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the dignified rear entrance of the British Museum on Montague Place in 1967. The scene prominently features the monumental stone lions that flank the King Edward VII Galleries, sculpted by Sir George Frampton RA and installed during the early 20th-century expansion of the museum. A woman in a light blue dress sits in the foreground, while a group of young men rests on the stone plinths near the fluted classical columns. The image beautifully illustrates the grand scale of London’s neoclassical architecture and the everyday visitors of the late sixties. This digital download is an ideal choice for enthusiasts of London’s institutional history or to print for yourself as a piece of classic architectural wall art.
