Trafalgar Square. London 1950

A wintry scene unfolds in London's Trafalgar Square, 1950. A large flock of pigeons congregates on ground patchily covered with snow and slush near one of the iconic bronze Landseer lions. In the middle distance, a fountain sends a spray of water into the cold air. Dominating the background is the church of St Martin-in-the-Fields, its distinctive steeple rising into the grey sky, with the grand, classical facade of the National Gallery extending to the right. The entire scene is imbued with a quiet, cold atmosphere.
