EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a horse-drawn open-top bus making its way through the bustling streets of London in 1885. The bus driver, dressed in his traditional uniform, skillfully navigates the horse-drawn vehicle, connecting the city's past with the present. The open-top design allows passengers to fully absorb the sights and sounds of the urban landscape, a far cry from the enclosed buses of today. The horse, named Robert Sauber, appears calm and focused as it pulls the bus along the cobblestone road. The photo captures the essence of London's rich transportation history, showcasing the ingenuity and determination of the city's early bus drivers. This photograph is a testament to the evolution of public transportation in London, from horse-drawn buses to modern-day vehicles. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the city's history and the daily lives of its residents during the 19th century.
