EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1905, showcases the excitement and innovation of the early motor bus era in London. The London General Omnibus Company is in the process of putting an up-to-date, new omnibus onto the road. The open-top, double-decker bus, adorned with vibrant advertisements for Pears Soap, Nestle's Milk, and Sloane's Almentary Pills, is a testament to the burgeoning advertising industry of the time. The passengers, both on the bus and on the sidewalk, appear intrigued and eager as they witness the latest addition to London's transportation landscape. The Edwardian era's elegance is on full display, with the well-dressed men and women adding a touch of sophistication to the scene. The side of the bus is open, allowing for a clear view of the mechanical workings of the vehicle, a reminder of the technological advancements that made this mode of travel possible. This photograph not only captures a moment in transport history but also offers a glimpse into the daily life and culture of early 20th century London.
