EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Piccadilly Circus in London during a historic moment in January 1951. The iconic advertising lights that normally illuminate the landmark with vibrant colors and bustling energy were dimmed due to a national coal crisis. The coal-import situation reached a critical point, leading to power rationing and the dimming of non-essential lights, including those in Piccadilly Circus. The image presents a stark contrast to the usual lively scene, making the landmark nearly as dark as it had been during the Second World War. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a period in history when the country faced significant challenges in securing essential resources, and the impact it had on the visual landscape of one of London's most famous landmarks." "The photograph, taken on the 7th of January 1951, offers a glimpse into the past and the resilience of the British people during times of hardship. The dim out of Piccadilly Circus is a testament to the historical significance of this landmark and the role it plays in reflecting the socio-economic conditions of the time. This image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, providing a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in British history." "The photograph does not depict any commercial use of the advertising lights, but rather, it captures the historical significance of the dim out in Piccadilly Circus during the coal crisis of 1951.
