1900s 1906 Begging Bowler Hat Boys Businessman Edwardian Lottery Passenger Travelling Victorian Competitions
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken on the 22nd of May, 1906, we are transported back to a bustling city street scene in the early 20th century. A group of young boys can be seen eagerly surrounding a well-dressed male bus passenger as he descends from the vehicle. Their eyes filled with hope and anticipation, they politely ask him for his used ticket. Little do they know that these tickets hold more value than meets the eye. This particular moment captures an intriguing aspect of Edwardian society - competitions and lotteries were all the rage. The Daily Mirror newspaper had organized a promotion where a winning ticket number could lead to an exciting prize. These children, perhaps driven by their dreams or simply enticed by curiosity, saw an opportunity in every discarded ticket. The man at the center of attention stands tall in his bowler hat and business attire - a quintessential city gent of Victorian times. His expression remains hidden behind time's veil but one can only wonder if he was amused or annoyed by this unexpected encounter. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling streets and daily routines, there is always room for excitement and possibility – even if it comes in the form of used bus tickets sought after by eager children.
