EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by the Topical Press Agency/Getty Images in August 1918, transports us back to a significant moment in history. As World War I raged on, London's iconic Trafalgar Square stood eerily devoid of its usual bustling activity due to a transport strike that had gripped the city. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness an uncommon sight - no buses traversing the streets.

The lampposts lining the road stand tall as silent witnesses to this unprecedented crisis unfolding before them. The image exudes an air of solemnity and resilience as pedestrians navigate through the square with caution.

It encapsulates not only a specific month or year but also echoes an entire era defined by sacrifice and determination. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this fine art print is sure to
