This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing an unexpected encounter on the bustling streets of Covent Garden. 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. Its imposing presence amidst the urban landscape creates an intriguing juxtaposition between past and present. 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. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how public art can ignite imagination and spark conversations within communities. It also highlights Covent Garden's reputation for embracing creativity in all its forms – from street performers to unconventional installations like this one. Paul Barkshire's skillful composition allows us to relive a moment when fantasy merged with reality on Russell Street. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded that even in our modern world, there is still room for enchantment and surprise around every corner.
