This print takes us back to the vibrant and bustling streets of Piccadilly Circus in London, United Kingdom, on a wet evening in 1966. The scene is alive with activity as cars navigate through the rain-soaked roads, encircling the semi-boarded statue of Eros at the center. Illuminated neon signs advertising popular brands such as Skol Lager, Double Diamond, Players Cigarettes, BP, and Coca Cola create a mesmerizing display that adds to the electric atmosphere.
