EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to Christmas Eve in London, 1881. This print captures the bustling atmosphere inside a crowded omnibus as passengers make their way home for the holidays. The scene is packed with people, all eagerly anticipating the festivities that await them.
As you look closer, you can see the tired but excited faces of Victorian-era travelers, seated closely together on wooden benches. The walls are adorned with advertisements and posters promoting various products and services of the time.
Amidst the chaos, there is a sense of warmth and camaraderie as strangers come together to share in this unique experience. The spirit of Christmas is palpable in the air, with some passengers even bringing small trees aboard to spread holiday cheer.
This image transports us back to a simpler time when public transportation was an essential part of daily life. It reminds us that no matter how busy or crowded our surroundings may be, there is always room for joy and connection during this special season.
Mary Evans has truly captured a moment frozen in time - one that evokes nostalgia and wonder at how our ancestors celebrated Christmas over a century ago.
