EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling heart of London's West End, Piccadilly Circus comes alive just before theatre time on a warm June evening in 1914. The iconic statue of Eros, bathed in the soft glow of gas lamps, stands as a beacon, drawing theatregoers from the surrounding restaurants and cafes. The circus is a picture of chaos and energy, as cars, taxis, and horse-drawn cabs jostle for position, their drivers honking and shouting, adding to the cacophony of the scene. The summer theatre season is in full swing, and society's elite and common folk alike make their way to the capital's theatres, dressed in their finest attire. The air is thick with excitement and anticipation, as the promise of an evening of entertainment unfolds before them. The streets are crowded, yet there is a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose, as Londoners come together to enjoy the city's vibrant nightlife. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, that encapsulates the essence of London during the 1910s. The image is a testament to the city's rich cultural heritage and its enduring appeal, which continues to draw visitors from around the world to this day.
