EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the bustling streets of London in 1873. The subject of this image is none other than Iron Billy, a horse-bus driver who undoubtedly played a significant role in the city's transportation history. Iron Billy stands tall and proud, his weathered face etched with years of experience navigating the busy thoroughfares. Dressed impeccably in his uniform, he exudes an air of authority and professionalism. One can only imagine the countless journeys he has undertaken, ferrying passengers from one destination to another. The photographer skillfully captures Iron Billy's essence, showcasing not just a mere snapshot but rather a glimpse into an era long gone. The fine details are brought to life through gravure printing techniques used during the 1930s reproduction process. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, we are reminded of the vital role that transport plays in shaping our cities and connecting communities. Iron Billy represents not only a skilled driver but also embodies the spirit of resilience and adaptability required for such demanding work. This print serves as both a testament to William Parragreen's legacy as an English photographer from the 19th century and as a window into London's rich past. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our collective heritage and appreciate those who came before us.
