EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of Piccadilly, London in 1926. The original painting, created by the talented Maurice Greiffenhagen for a London Midland & Scottish Railway poster, beautifully captures the essence of this bustling cityscape. As we delve into the image, we are transported to a time when double-decker buses gracefully roamed these historic streets. Their presence is complemented by an array of eye-catching newspaper stands that proudly display headlines from around the world. The fashion trends of the era come alive through elegantly dressed men and women strolling along Piccadilly's pavements. Their attire reflects both sophistication and style, showcasing an intriguing blend of classic elegance and emerging modernity. Amidst this lively scene, dedicated policemen diligently patrol their beat under the glow of streetlights. They symbolize safety and order amidst a sea of animated crowds enjoying their evening out on town. This remarkable photograph from National Railway Museum's Pictorial Collection not only offers us a glimpse into London's past but also serves as a testament to Greiffenhagen's artistic prowess. It encapsulates an era where newspapers were king, fashion was evolving rapidly, and Piccadilly was at its most enchanting during those twilight hours. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let our imaginations wander through those busy streets filled with excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead in one of London's most iconic locations - Piccadilly Circus
