EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Piccadilly Circus, London. Taken in 1925 during the reconstruction of the underground railway station, it showcases the removal of the iconic statue of Eros from its prominent position. Eros, a symbol of love and desire, had stood tall at Piccadilly Circus since 1893, becoming one of London's most famous landmarks. However, as progress demanded improvements to accommodate an expanding transportation network beneath ground level, this beloved statue had to be temporarily relocated. The image depicts a team of skilled workers carefully dismantling Eros from its pedestal using ropes and pulleys. The delicate nature of their task is evident as they navigate around scaffolding that surrounds them. Their dedication and precision are admirable as they ensure every detail is preserved for future generations. This photograph not only documents a pivotal moment in London's architectural development but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and adaptability. It reminds us that even cherished symbols must sometimes make way for progress. Published in 1935 within "The Story Of 25 Eventful Years In Pictures" this historical snapshot allows us to reflect on how our cities evolve over time while honoring their rich heritage.
