EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, showcases Piccadilly Circus in its early glory. The iconic London landmark is bustling with activity, as horse-drawn cabs and drays navigate the narrow streets lined with shops and buildings. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, illuminating the intricate details of the architecture, including the ornate sun awnings that shielded passersby from the elements. The photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, which documents the vibrant streets of London during the late 19th century. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, when horsepower reigned supreme and the streets were a hive of activity. The presence of the horse cabs and drays adds a sense of nostalgia, transporting us back in time. The photograph also features a striking lantern on the left-hand side of the image, which would have provided much-needed light to the shops and buildings after dark. The intricate design of the lantern adds to the overall charm of the scene, highlighting the attention to detail that was so prevalent during this period. Despite the passage of time, Piccadilly Circus remains a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from all corners of the globe. This photograph serves as a reminder of the area's rich history and the importance of preserving the past for future generations to enjoy.
