Piccadilly Circus, 1915. Creator: David Muirhead Bone
Piccadilly Circus, 1915. A dramatic scene of crowds as they move through Piccadilly Circus, a circular road junction and major public space bordered by stately buildings in London's West End. The buildings rise up around the crowd, their facades emanating a soft light from their shop fronts, the most prominent being the edifice of the County Fire Office on the far left; the Pavilion is beyond the crowd near the centre of the work. A tense feeling of war hangs over the scene; search lights slice through the dark ink of the sky and street lamps, their regulation war lampshades cast an eerie light throughout the crowd, silhouetting the motor cars and the Shaftesbury Memorial (Eros)

Piccadilly Circus in Turmoil - A Glimpse into London's Wartime Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking drypoint print, artist David Muirhead Bone captures the frenetic energy of Piccadilly Circus during World War I. Created in 1915, the artwork depicts a crowded and anxious scene as people move through the iconic circular road junction. The stately buildings that surround the area seem to loom over the crowd, their soft-lit shop fronts casting an eerie glow into the dark night sky.
The atmosphere is tense with anticipation, as search lights slice through the darkness above. Street lamps cast a regulation war-time light on the scene below, silhouetting motor cars and pedestrians alike. In the distance, the iconic Shaftesbury Memorial (Eros) stands tall, while horse-drawn carriages make their way through the throngs of people.
Bone's masterful use of drypoint etching brings out every detail in this print. The artist's keen eye for observation captures not only the chaos and uncertainty of wartime London but also its resilience and determination to carry on despite adversity. This powerful artwork is a testament to Bone's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
