Standing proudly outside the shop at 1 Russell Street, London, is a magnificent model dinosaur that seems to have transported itself from prehistoric times into the heart of the city. Photographed by Paul Barkshire on April 4th, 1980, this image exudes a sense of wonder and curiosity. The attention to detail in this life-sized replica is remarkable; every scale and contour meticulously crafted to resemble its ancient counterpart.

The surrounding crowd appears captivated by this unusual sight as they pause their daily routines to marvel at this extraordinary creature. Children point excitedly while adults exchange amused glances, momentarily forgetting about their busy lives.
