This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the imposing neoclassical facade of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square during the summer of 1966. The image offers a nostalgic look at the building before its modern cleaning and restoration, showing the heavy soot and pollution staining on the Corinthian columns that was characteristic of the era. In front of the portico, a row of vibrant red and white flower boxes provides a splash of colour against the grey stone. A vintage green and cream coach with a red stripe travels along the road in the foreground, a route that has since been transformed into a fully pedestrianised plaza. To the left, a traditional black street lamp and iron railings border the site, while a sign denotes the gallery’s opening hours. This digital download is a remarkable record of London’s most famous art institution during the mid-sixties, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of historic cultural wall art.
