On this day in 1893, the first statue cast in aluminium was dedicated in London's Piccadilly Circus and placed atop the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain. The Statue of Anteros (though popularly known as Eros), Greek Avenger of Unrequited Love, still welcomes visitors to the bustling circle. Aluminium has long been a preferred medium of artists and sculptors who appreciate it for being light, strong, flexible, and corrosion resistant.
