EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the spirit of patriotism and unity during the early weeks of the First World War, as the iconic Eros statue in Piccadilly Circus, London, is adorned with both the Union Jack and Tricouleur flags. Dated back to 1914, this historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the global solidarity and shared sense of purpose that emerged in response to the outbreak of war. Eros, the winged Greek god of love, has long been a cherished landmark in Piccadilly Circus, drawing visitors from around the world. In this moment, however, the statue takes on a new meaning as a symbol of national pride and allegiance. The Union Jack, the flag of the United Kingdom, and the Tricouleur, the flag of France, are united on Eros's head, reflecting the strong bonds between the two nations as they prepared to face the challenges of the war. The photograph, taken in the early days of the conflict, captures the sense of hope and determination that swept through London and other cities as people came together to support their countries. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of patriotism and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. As we reflect on the history of the First World War and its impact on the world, this photograph offers a unique perspective on the ways in which communities came together to express their solidarity and support for their nations. The Union Jack and Tricouleur flags on Eros's head stand as a testament to the shared values and shared sacrifices that defined the war effort and continue to shape our understanding of the past.
