EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London in the early 1900s. The focal point is a magnificent double-decker steam-powered bus, operated by the renowned London Road Car Company. Its grand presence dominates the frame as it travels between Hammersmith and Oxford Circus, carrying passengers from one destination to another. The vintage charm of this Edwardian era vehicle is enhanced by its monochrome setting, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. Adorned with advertisements for Nestles Milk and Bovril, this steam bus not only served as a mode of transportation but also showcased popular products of that time. Behind the wheel sits a confident male driver, steering his way through the busy streets with expertise. Passengers can be seen on board, their faces filled with anticipation or perhaps lost in thought during their journey. This image captures an era when public transport was evolving rapidly and becoming an integral part of urban life. Preserved within the pages of "The Saturday Book", edited by Leonard Russell, this photograph serves as a testament to both British history and advancements in transportation technology. Although its creator remains unknown, their work has allowed us to glimpse into a moment frozen in time - where steam power propelled people towards progress and connectivity across London's vibrant cityscape.
