EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Oxford Street, London in 1909. Captured by an unknown photographer and later featured in "The Pageant of the Century" published by Odhams Press Ltd in 1933, this image showcases a vibrant scene filled with horse-drawn buses and pedestrians. As we gaze at this snapshot from the early 20th century, we are transported to a different era. The Edwardian architecture lining the avenue stands tall against the backdrop of a cloudy sky. The street is illuminated by vintage lighting fixtures, casting a warm glow on the busy crowd below. Horse-drawn vehicles traverse through the lane, carrying passengers along their daily journeys. Pedestrians fill every inch of available space on both sides of the road as they go about their shopping or simply enjoy being part of this lively atmosphere. The photo captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects how transportation has evolved over decades. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, certain elements like Oxford Street's popularity as a shopping destination have remained constant throughout history. Although taken over a century ago, this photograph continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and offers us an intriguing glimpse into life during those times.
