EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Piccadilly Circus, Westminster, London, circa 1910. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than the renowned Photochrom Co Ltd of London. The focal point of this snapshot is the magnificent Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, a tribute to the seventh Earl of Shaftesbury. Erected between 1892 and 1893, this iconic sculpture by Alfred Gilbert holds historical significance as it was the first ever cast in aluminium. The image showcases not only the grandeur of architecture but also captures a glimpse into daily life during that era. Horse-drawn vehicles fill the streets as people go about their business amidst a backdrop of impressive buildings and monuments. This monochrome portrayal adds an air of nostalgia and highlights the timeless beauty that lies within these city walls. London's vibrant energy emanates from every corner captured in this photograph - from its lively arts scene to its rich history and cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to British craftsmanship and artistic prowess while offering a window into an era long gone. Thanks to Sir Walter Besant's work "London - North of Thames" we are able to relish in these moments frozen in time through prints like these provided by The Print Collector. Let us cherish such glimpses into our past for they remind us how far we have come while honoring those who shaped our present-day metropolis with their vision and creativity.
