This print captures the iconic Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, a testament to Lord Shaftesbury's philanthropic endeavors. Erected in 1892-1893 in London's bustling Piccadilly Circus, this magnificent monument stands as a symbol of compassion and goodwill. Atop the fountain stands Alfred Gilbert's renowned winged nude statue, affectionately known as Eros. Inspired by Greek mythology, this enchanting figure holds a bow and arrow, representing both love and desire. The monochrome image beautifully highlights the intricate details of this timeless masterpiece. The photograph showcases the vibrant urban landscape surrounding the fountain. A busy road leads towards Shaftesbury Avenue, while pedestrians go about their day on this lively street.
