This engraving titled "Putting up the Lions at the Base of the Nelson Column, Trafalgar-Square" takes us back to 19th-century London. The image showcases a significant moment in history when sculptures were being installed at the iconic Nelson Column in Trafalgar Square. In this bustling scene, we witness a group of children eagerly observing as workers carefully position one of the majestic lion sculptures onto its pedestal. The children's wide-eyed curiosity and excitement are palpable, reflecting their awe for this grand undertaking. Amidst the commotion, police officers stand watchfully nearby, ensuring order and safety during this monumental task. Their presence adds a sense of authority and importance to the event unfolding before them. The intricate details captured by the skilled English School artist transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also how public spaces like Trafalgar Square have been cherished throughout generations.
