EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of Nelly, the loneliest woman in London, standing steadfastly in Piccadilly Circus with her floral cart. The iconic statue of Eros, the God of Love, had been temporarily removed during World War II, leaving Nelly as the sole reminder of the area's historical charm and vibrant street trade. The bustling streets of Piccadilly Circus, once filled with the cacophony of traffic, laughter, and the sweet scent of blooming flowers, now echoed with an eerie silence. Nelly, with her weathered face and tired eyes, continued to sell her flowers, day after day, to the few passersby who paused to acknowledge her presence. Her cart, adorned with an array of roses, carnations, and lilies, was a testament to her unwavering spirit and resilience. The photograph, taken in the year 1930, transports us back in time, inviting us to witness a moment in history that has long since passed. The absence of the statue of Eros, a symbol of love and desire, adds a layer of melancholy to the scene, emphasizing the isolation and loneliness that Nelly endured. Yet, despite the hardships, she remained a beacon of hope and beauty in the heart of the city. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped London, and the indomitable spirit of those who have persevered through the trials and tribulations of time. Nelly, the flower seller of Piccadilly, will forever be remembered as a symbol of resilience and the enduring power of human spirit.
