EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant and eclectic atmosphere of Soho, London, in 1973. The scene takes place at the corner of Old Compton Street and Dean Street, where the pavement comes alive with the sounds and sights of the bustling district. In the foreground, a busker, with his saxophone slung over his shoulder, entertains passersby outside the Italian restaurant, La Colombina D'Oro, located at number 61 Dean Street. The musician's performance adds to the lively energy of the area, which was known for its diverse and bohemian population. The photograph showcases the unique character of Soho, with its narrow streets, colorful buildings, and the mix of people and vehicles that filled the district. Old Compton Street, with its eclectic mix of shops and eateries, is particularly prominent in the image, as cars are parked haphazardly along the road, while pedestrians navigate the pavement. The Tuscan-inspired La Colombina D'Oro, with its distinctive sign and red awning, stands out among the other establishments. The photograph, taken by Robert Stallard, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1970s and the vibrant, eclectic, and creative spirit of Soho. The image is a testament to the area's enduring charm and its ability to attract artists, musicians, and creative types, who continue to be drawn to its unique energy and character.
