image: Piccadilly Circus at night, looking towards Leicester Square from Green Park. The statue known as 'Eros' can be
seen on the fountain at the lower right. Searchlights shine from the tops of buildings, and the streetlamps are hooded and cast their light
straight down. Pedestrians, bicycles and cars move around the square. At the lower right is a mounted man in uniform, possibly a
policeman.
'Eros' is in fact 'The Angel of Christian Charity' by Sir Alfred Gilbert, a monument to the Victorian philanthropist
Lord Shaftesbury. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | British Home Front 1914-1918 blackout civilian personnel Architecture cityscape First World War WW1 British Home Front | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Bone, Muirhead | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
