EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Blast from the Past: London's Horse-Drawn Double-Decker Buses (circa 1905) 2.. This photograph, taken circa 1905, offers a fascinating glimpse into London's rich transportation history. The image showcases a horse-drawn double-decker bus making its way across a bridge, likely the iconic Owbridge, with Saint Julian's Tobacco advertisement prominently displayed on its side. London's horse buses were an essential part of the city's public transport system before the advent of motorized buses. These double-decker vehicles, drawn by teams of horses, could carry more passengers than their single-decker counterparts, making them a popular choice for commuters. The upper deck provided ample standing room and offered panoramic views of the bustling city. The advertisements adorning the sides of these horse buses were an integral part of London's urban landscape. Tobacco companies, like Saint Julian's, were among the most common advertisers, as were pharmaceutical companies promoting their tonics and pills. The intricate designs and bold typography of these ads added visual interest to the streets and provided a source of revenue for the bus companies. The carters, or drivers, who operated these horse-drawn buses were an essential part of London's working class. They were responsible for managing the horses, navigating the city's congested streets, and ensuring a smooth and safe journey for their passengers. Their uniforms, consisting of a liver-colored jacket and cap, were a familiar sight on London's streets. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when horse-drawn vehicles ruled the roads and London's transportation landscape was vastly different from the modern, motorized city we know today.
