07. Hub of the British Empire, The: Feeding the Pigeons in Trafalgar Square (150 pcs)

Number 7 from the South African Series, once again from a painting by Charles Eddowes Turner.
South Africa House was built in the mid 1930's on the site of Morley's Hotel, which occupied the whole Eastern side of Trafalgar Square. Rather interestingly, this puzzle appears to show the façade of the Hotel, rather than that of South Africa House itself, perhaps indicating that the painting pre-dates its construction, with C.E. Turner applying his own artistic interpretation of how the scene might look, by painting in the names on the hotel frontage.

The 300 pcs version of this subject shows a more complete depiction of CE Turner's picture including his signature.
