Electric and iconic, this chrome-finish postcard of Piccadilly Circus catches London at its most kinetic — a mid-1980s streetscape blazing with the neon and billboard culture of the era: Coca-Cola's sweeping red script, Canon cameras, Fuji film, JVC Video, all competing for the eye above the ceaseless swirl of red double-decker buses, black cabs, and pedestrians threading past the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain topped by its famous statue of Eros. The neoclassical façade of what appears to be the London Pavilion anchors the right side, while a Union Jack shield badge marks the card's British pride in the upper corner. Postmarked London W.C., June 8, 1993, this card was mailed by Dorothy and Charles to friends Mella and Wayne in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a charming note: "The Post Office came through with our passports, so we got to make this trip! Church here Sunday. Great fellowship." Published by FISA of Barcelona and printed in the EEC, it bears a green Queen Elizabeth II Machin definitive stamp with "OPTIME SERVICE" overprint — a scarce variety.
