The photograph was taken for architect John Murray, FRIBA and was one of a series of Regent Street. The monument, by John Bell, was erected to commemorate the 2162 men of the regiments of Foot Guards who fell in the Crimean War. In 1914 the memorial was moved slightly to accommodate statues of Florence Nightingale and Lord Sidney Herbert on the site.
