EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of London's transportation history - the double-decker electric tram from 1907. The image provides both side and end elevations of this iconic London County Council class C open-topped tram, specifically car number 296. Operating on the New Cross Gate to Lewisham route, this tram was an integral part of the city's public transport system. The photograph captures the essence of early 20th-century urban life with its monochrome aesthetic. The Greater London Council (GLC) and Guildhall Library Art Gallery have preserved this precious snapshot, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era when trams ruled the streets. London County Council (LCC), responsible for maintaining efficient transportation in the city, played a crucial role in introducing these electric trams as an alternative mode of travel. With their distinctive two-decker design, these trams became synonymous with London's bustling streetscape. As we admire this vintage image, let us appreciate how far our modes of transport have evolved since then. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of technological advancements but also highlights the importance of preserving historical artifacts that shape our collective memory. Thanks to institutions like Guildhall Library Art Gallery, we can continue to cherish such glimpses into our past and celebrate the rich heritage that defines our present-day metropolis.
