EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time on the River Thames, London, in 1907. Passengers are seen boarding the iconic London County Council steamboat Thomas More, which is moored at a floating pier. The image showcases the bustling atmosphere of public transport during this era. The passengers themselves are dressed in period costumes, providing a glimpse into early 20th-century fashion. Their presence adds depth and character to the scene as they eagerly await their journey along the historic river. The photograph not only serves as a visual record but also highlights the significance of water transport in Greater London's history. The London County Council steamboat service played an essential role in connecting various parts of the city through its efficient transportation network. Preserved by Guildhall Library Art Gallery and part of the London County Council Photograph Library collection, this monochrome image offers viewers an opportunity to step back in time and appreciate both the geographical features of the River Thames and its vital role as a transportation artery for centuries. As we observe these unknown individuals embarking on their voyage aboard Thomas More, we can't help but wonder about their stories and destinations. This remarkable snapshot invites us to reflect on our own relationship with public transport while appreciating how it has evolved over time.
