EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic Statue of Eros at Piccadilly Circus in London during the 1980s. The statue, also known as the "Prince of Wales's Monument," is a tribute to the ancient Greek god of love and desire. Dating back to 1893, the bronze figure stands proudly atop a granite pedestal, poised to release a golden arrow from his bow. With his wings spread wide, Eros appears to be mid-flight, ready to shower the bustling city below with his amorous blessings. The public art piece, located in one of London's most famous and vibrant squares, has become a beloved symbol of the city's rich history and cultural significance. The photograph, taken in the 1980s, showcases the statue's timeless beauty amidst the backdrop of the era's fashion and urban landscape. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of this iconic landmark and the lasting power of public art to inspire and captivate generations. The statue's intricate details, from the delicate folds of Eros' wings to the intricate design of his bow and arrow, are beautifully captured in this photograph. The warm, golden hues of the late afternoon sun cast an ethereal glow over the scene, enhancing the otherworldly quality of the statue and adding to its mystique. This photograph is a must-have for anyone with a passion for art, history, or the city of London.
