Piccadilly Circus, London [Large Plate] 1916

Jules de Bruycker's 1916 etching, *Piccadilly Circus, London*, depicts the iconic London landmark in a bustling and atmospheric scene. The etching captures the energy of the circus, with its crowds of pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and towering buildings. The use of dark, shadowy lines creates a sense of depth and movement, while the rain-soaked pavement adds to the mood of the scene. De Bruycker, a Belgian artist, is known for his cityscapes and his use of etching to create atmospheric depictions of urban life. This artwork is a testament to his mastery of the technique.
