EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Piccadilly Circus in Westminster, London. It captures a moment in time from the early 20th century when horse-drawn carriages were still a common sight on the roads. In the foreground stands the iconic Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, affectionately known as Eros, although this name is actually incorrect. Towering above it is the grand London Pavilion theatre, attracting crowds with its vibrant entertainment offerings. The image showcases an array of people going about their daily lives – men in suits and bowler hats strolling along the avenue, women elegantly dressed walking arm-in-arm with their companions. A double-decker omnibus dominates the scene, open-topped to allow passengers to take in their surroundings as they traverse through this lively city. Henry E. White skillfully captured this snapshot for "The Pageant of the Century" published by Odhams Press Ltd in 1933. Through his lens, we are transported back to a time when Piccadilly Circus was considered not just a thriving hub but also hailed as "The Hub of Universe: The Centre of World". This photograph serves as a testament to both historical significance and architectural beauty that defined Piccadilly Circus during this era. It invites us to reflect upon how much has changed over time while appreciating how certain landmarks continue to shape our modern world today.
