Trafalgar Square, London

Uncategorized 1 Minute
This photograph shows the famous statues of four lions in Trafalgar Square, at the base of Nelson’s Column. There are also known as the ‘Landseer Lions’ after the artist who created them. Landseer was famous for his paintings of horses and dogs, but was asked to design the lions in 1858. Landseer worked very slowly and the four lions were finally put in place in 1867 – nearly a decade after the commission was awarded. This photograph was taken in 1884.
