EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Knifeboard bus in London from the year 1900. The image showcases a piece of transportation history, with the double-decker bus featuring an open-air top deck where passengers would sit on wooden benches resembling knife blades - hence the name "Knifeboard" bus.
The conductor and driver are visible in their traditional uniforms, ready to assist passengers during their journey through the bustling streets of London. The iconic red color of the bus stands out against the backdrop of historic buildings, giving us a glimpse into daily life in early 20th century England.
This vintage photograph is not just a snapshot in time but also a reminder of how far public transportation has come over the years. It serves as a testament to innovation and progress in urban mobility, highlighting the evolution of means of conveyance that have shaped our cities and societies.
As we admire this historical image, we are transported back to a bygone era when these distinctive buses were an integral part of London's landscape. The nostalgia evoked by this print is palpable, inviting us to appreciate both the beauty and functionality of such classic modes of transport.
