EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous colour lithograph captures the chaos and camaraderie of a group of people crammed onto a tram or trolley bus in the early 20th century. The scene depicted in this postcard from a private collection is filled with lively characters, each with their own unique expressions and gestures.
The artist, part of the English School from the 20th century, skillfully conveys the sense of overcrowding and shared experience among the passengers. Despite being packed like sardines, there is a lightheartedness to the image that suggests everyone is in good spirits despite their cramped quarters.
The title "We won't get home till morning" adds to the whimsical nature of this print, hinting at an adventurous night out that has extended into the early hours. The colourful palette used by the artist enhances the jovial atmosphere of this crowd scene, making it feel almost like a snapshot from a comedy film.
Overall, this artwork serves as a charming reminder of simpler times when public transportation was bustling with life and laughter. It captures a moment in history when trams were not just modes of transport but also social hubs where strangers became temporary companions on their journey home.
