EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing, titled "Rain and a Motor Bus," transports us back in time to circa 1915. The image showcases an open-top motor bus bravely navigating through a heavy rainstorm. The tops of umbrellas can be seen poking up from the open section of the bus, providing shelter for its passengers. A man, undeterred by the downpour, is shown outside the bus, casually kicking his leg out as he waits. The vibrant colors of the drawing bring the scene to life, with the red bus body contrasting beautifully against the gray backdrop of the rain-soaked streets. This charming illustration was published in a color magazine, likely in the December volume of a popular publication. The artist, Charles Grave (not to be confused with the Charles Graves of the motor bus company), skillfully captured the essence of travel during this era, where the simple joy of riding in an open-top bus, even in the rain, was an adventure in itself. This drawing is a delightful reminder of a bygone era, when motor buses were a novelty and the rain added an element of excitement to the journey rather than an inconvenience.
