Comments and Context

In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “This picture is taken in one corner of Trafalgar Square showing the National Art Gallery which is one of the leading art galleries of the world. Trafalgar Square is one of the most beautiful open squares in London and was dedicated to the memory and honor of Lord Nelson, the hero of the battle of Trafalgar when he saved England from invasion by Napoleon and his forces in 1805.”
