EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1980s, a time when the Rubik's Cube craze was at its peak. The image captures none other than Professor Erno Rubik himself, the brilliant Hungarian inventor of this iconic puzzle toy. Standing in Harrods' bustling toy department on a chilly December day, he is surrounded by eager shoppers and enthusiasts. With his signature cube in one hand and a new creation called the Snake in the other, Professor Rubik graciously autographs these sought-after items for his adoring fans. His presence alone adds an air of excitement and wonder to this already magical season. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, Santa Claus himself makes an unexpected appearance at Harrods that day. Seizing the opportunity to share his invention with Father Christmas, Professor Rubik takes a moment to demonstrate how to solve his ingenious cube puzzle. It's truly a meeting of great minds as they exchange smiles and laughter amidst their shared love for toys. This photograph not only captures a significant moment in history but also embodies the spirit of creativity and innovation that defines both London as a city and Harrods as an iconic retail destination. It serves as a reminder that even during busy holiday seasons, there is always time for joyous encounters between inventors, shoppers, and beloved figures like Santa Claus himself.
