Step back in time with this photograph of Piccadilly Circus in London, as it looked in 1907. The bustling urban scene is a fascinating blend of the old and the new, showcasing the historic statue of Eros in all its glory, surrounded by the chaos and excitement of the bustling streets. At the heart of the image, a horse-drawn cab makes its way through the crowd, its driver urging the animal onward with a firm hand. The cab passes by a motor bus, a symbol of the burgeoning transport revolution that was transforming the city's streets.
