This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures a bustling summer scene at Trafalgar Square in 1968. The majestic neoclassical facade of the National Gallery is the central focus, extensively covered in metal scaffolding as restoration work takes place on its grand portico and dome. In the foreground, one of the iconic fountains erupts in a high plume of water, casting a light mist over the square. The area is crowded with tourists and Londoners enjoying the weather, dressed in quintessential late-sixties fashion including colourful headscarves and sharp suits. A traditional black Victorian-style lamp post and the stone balustrade of the terrace frame the lively atmosphere of this world-famous cultural hub. This digital download is an evocative record of London’s post-war preservation efforts, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of vintage architectural wall art.
