EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this postcard image of the corner of Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street in London, circa 1903. The bustling scene is a stark contrast to the modern traffic we know today. Horse-drawn buses, or 'omnibuses,' dominate the streets, making their way through the intersection with a sense of determination and grace. The double-decker design of these buses, a precursor to the iconic double-decker buses that would become synonymous with London transportation, is evident in this photograph. Passengers, dressed in the fashion of the early 1900s, can be seen boarding and disembarking from the upper deck, while the bus drivers skillfully maneuver their horses and vehicles around the corner. The iconic red omnibus livery of Bryant & May, a well-known name in London's transportation history, is absent from this image, but the presence of the horse buses is a testament to the era's reliance on these animals for public transport. The image, with its crisp details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the horse buses that once ruled the streets of London. This photograph is not only a historical document but also a visual delight, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era.
