EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by E. Bacon, we are transported back to the 18th of February in 1925, witnessing a historic moment in London's Piccadilly Circus. The image showcases a group of determined workmen engaged in an extraordinary task - moving the iconic statue of Eros from its prominent plinth. The sheer scale and weight of the male sculpture is evident as it looms over the men, who appear small and insignificant in comparison. Their focused expressions reveal their commitment to preserving this beloved symbol of love and desire for generations to come. As they carefully maneuver through the bustling streets, one can only imagine the challenges faced by these brave individuals. The atmosphere surrounding them seems charged with anticipation; pedestrians stop in their tracks to witness this remarkable event unfold before their eyes. This powerful photograph not only captures a significant historical moment but also prompts us to reflect on our own relationship with art and history. It serves as a reminder that even monumental works can be subject to change or relocation, yet their impact remains eternal. Elegantly presented in landscape format, this stunning print invites viewers into an era long gone while allowing us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind such masterpieces and those who dedicate themselves to preserving cultural heritage.
