EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Piccadilly Circus, London, during the early 20th century. Captured by artist Charles F Borup, this image showcases the iconic landmark at night in 1908-1909. The scene is shrouded in a mysterious fog, adding an ethereal quality to the already enchanting atmosphere. The street lamps cast a soft glow on the empty lane, illuminating the grand buildings that line it. At its center stands the magnificent statue of Eros, symbolizing love and desire from Greek mythology. Despite being devoid of people, there is a palpable energy emanating from this photograph. It transports us to a time when Edwardian elegance reigned supreme and captures both the beauty and solitude of city life after dark. This monochrome masterpiece was originally featured in Penroses Pictorial Annual 1908-1909 - An Illustrated Review of Graphic Arts edited by William Gamble and published by AW Penrose. Its timeless appeal lies not only in its historical significance but also in its ability to evoke nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze upon this stunning piece of artistry, we are reminded of how much has changed over the years while simultaneously appreciating how certain landmarks like Piccadilly Circus continue to stand as enduring symbols of urban life.
