EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of London in 1900. The bustling streets come to life as a horse-drawn omnibus, adorned with advertisements for tea and Nestles milk, makes its way through the city. Passengers eagerly occupy the open-topped double-decker bus, enjoying the unique perspective from the top deck. Amidst this lively scene, a young boy dutifully holds onto the reins of the majestic horses that power this mode of transportation. Behind them stands a charming barbershop, adding to the charm and character of this historic moment frozen in time. The image showcases not only an era but also various professions and occupations prevalent during that period. Men and women from different walks of life can be seen aboard this omnibus - a testament to its popularity among people from all social backgrounds. As we gaze upon this snapshot into history, it is impossible not to marvel at how far transportation has come since then. This photograph serves as a reminder of our progress while also evoking nostalgia for simpler times when horse-drawn vehicles were an integral part of daily life. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into Victorian London's public transport system while highlighting everyday moments that would otherwise have been forgotten.
