EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Piccadilly Circus in 1920, a bustling street scene that epitomizes the vibrancy and energy of central London. Renowned artist Edward Harry Handley-Read skillfully brings to life this iconic location through his watercolour masterpiece. In this snapshot of history, we are transported back to an era when horse-drawn omnibuses traversed the city streets alongside pedestrians rambling along Piccadilly Avenue. The image is teeming with figures going about their daily lives, creating a sense of movement and liveliness within the frame. The famous statue of Eros stands tall amidst the crowded thoroughfare, symbolizing love and beauty against a backdrop of impressive buildings that define Britain's architectural heritage. The Guildhall Library and Art Gallery can be glimpsed in the distance, adding depth to this visual narrative. Handley-Read's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in early 20th-century London. From the fashion choices of passersby to the intricate design on each omnibus, every element contributes to painting a vivid picture of life during this transformative period.
