EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1877 by an unknown photographer and sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past of public transportation in Victorian London. The image depicts an omnibus driver, dressed in a smartly tailored jacket and waistcoat, assisting a gentleman passenger to board the No. 568 omnibus. The horse-drawn vehicle, adorned with ornate decorations and the route number prominently displayed, is parked on the side of the busy West Road, near Edgware Road. The gentleman passenger, dressed in a top hat and overcoat, holds onto the driver's outstretched hand as he steps up onto the vehicle's high platform. The driver, wearing a bowler hat and carrying a long whip, expertly guides the horse as the passenger takes his seat. The scene exudes an air of elegance and efficiency, as the driver ensures the comfort and safety of his passenger in this historical moment. The No. 568 omnibus route connected Edgware Road and West Strand, two important areas in Victorian London. This photograph provides a fascinating insight into the daily lives of Londoners during this era, as well as the importance of public transportation in the urban landscape. The horse-drawn buses, with their distinctive designs and uniformed drivers, were a common sight on the streets of London, and this image offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past. This photograph is not only a valuable historical document, but also a beautiful work of art that captures the spirit of a bygone era. The use of natural light, the careful composition, and the attention to detail all contribute to the timeless quality of this image, making it a must-have for any collection of Victorian London history or transportation history.
