EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Piccadilly Circus, a vibrant hub of activity in the heart of Greater London. The image captures a unique perspective from the south-east, showcasing the iconic Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, affectionately known as Eros. Dating back to sometime between 1895 and 1905, this photograph offers a glimpse into Victorian-era London. The fountain stands tall and proud as a commemorative monument, surrounded by street vendors who have found respite on its steps. These traders add an intriguing layer to the scene, their presence highlighting the intersection between trade and commerce that has long defined this historic location. The atmosphere is palpable as people go about their daily lives against the backdrop of this magnificent architectural marvel. It's easy to imagine oneself immersed in this lively street scene - perhaps catching snippets of conversation or witnessing transactions taking place amidst the hustle and bustle. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this print serves as both a collector's item and a window into our past. It allows us to appreciate how much has changed over time while also recognizing enduring landmarks like Piccadilly Circus that continue to shape our urban landscape today.
