EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the nostalgic era of 1968, where London's Holborn Circus witnessed a remarkable sight. One of the old London General Omnibus Company's "Two Horsepower" veterans, gracefully drawn by horses Perville and Planet, transports guests to a jubilee party hosted by the Imperial Machine Company. The occasion marked the company's momentous 60th anniversary, as they decided to turn back time and relive the charm of 1908 for an unforgettable evening at Flanagans. The image captures not only a mode of transport but also encapsulates an entire atmosphere from a bygone era. The vintage bus carriage adorned with intricate details showcases craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a world where horse-drawn carriages were still prevalent amidst modern advancements. Tom King skillfully immortalizes this scene through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the elegance of these majestic creatures and their role in transporting people across bustling streets. This photograph serves as a reminder that progress may change our means of transportation but cannot erase our appreciation for tradition and heritage. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece captured in black and white, it evokes feelings of nostalgia while reminding us how far we have come since those days when horsepower was measured quite literally in equine strength rather than engine capacity.
