EDITORS COMMENTS
Step down, kindly, as the Motor Bus comes to a halt amidst the bustling streets of London during the 1914 Season. The omnipresent motor-bus, a symbol of modernity and convenience, has become an essential mode of transport for the city's residents and visitors alike. In this image by renowned illustrator Fortunino Matania, titled "Passengers out first, please," we witness a scene of passengers eagerly alighting from the double-decker bus, their excited chatter filling the crisp evening air. The London Season, a series of social events and activities that took place annually, was in full swing. The city was alive with entertainment and nightlife, drawing in the fashionable elite from all corners of society. The Motor Bus offered a convenient and efficient means to traverse the sprawling metropolis, allowing individuals to make the most of their time in the city. As the passengers make their way off the bus, they are greeted by the vibrant energy of the city. The streets are illuminated by gas lamps, casting a warm glow over the cobblestones. The sound of laughter and music can be heard in the distance, beckoning the passengers towards the many delights that London has to offer. The Motor Bus, with its spacious interior and open doors, represents a new era of transportation and mobility. It is a testament to the spirit of progress and innovation that defined the early 20th century. This evocative image by Matania offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when London was the cultural and social hub of the world.
