In Trafalgar Square you can see Nelson’s Column is surrounded by four lions. Each of the four lions are near identical, except for very slight differences in mane also the head. They have been given the nickname “The Landseer Lions” after the known artist & sculptor who made them. Sir Edwin Henry Landseer RA (7 March 1802 – 1 October 1873) was an English painter and sculptor, well known for his paintings of animals – particularly horses, dogs, and stags. However, his best-known works are the lion sculptures at the base of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square. It is said that each of these 7-ton statues will awaken if Big Ben ever rang 13 times. When planning Nelson’s Column, the committee chose that four lions would be at the end of the pedestal. They wanted something to represent the heroism of Lord Nelson and decided that lions were suitable. In 1839, Nelson’s column was erected without the four lions.
The committee continued to debate the lions until 1846, when they finally received enough money to commission their design. The House of Commons funded £6000 for the completion of the lions. They picked Sir Edwin Landseer to design the lions. Landseer was also in bad health at the time also the committee suffered from financial difficulty, which delayed the unveiling of the lions. It was originally assumed that the lions would stand in the crowd with their mouths wide open. Although it was much cheaper for them to put them down, also a rumour that Queen Victoria presumed a roaring pose was too shocking for the public square. The Trafalgar Square lions were finally unveiled to the public on January 31, 1867.
