EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the champion horse-drawn delivery van of W H Smith & Son, a renowned newsagents, booksellers, and stationers, which won the First Prize and Championship Cup at the prestigious International Horse Show held at Olympia in 1910. The fine horse-drawn wagon, proudly displaying the distinctive white and green livery of the company, had an impressive nine-year working history without a single illness. The International Horse Show at Olympia was a highly anticipated annual event in the early 20th century, attracting competitors from all corners of the globe. W H Smith & Son's horse-drawn van, with its sleek design and impeccably maintained horse, stood out among the other entries. The horse, a testament to the company's commitment to excellence, is shown in the prime of its life, its coat glistening with sweat and pride. The van, which would have been a common sight on the streets of London at the time, was an essential part of W H Smith & Son's delivery operation. It carried a wide range of goods, from newspapers and magazines to books and stationery, to customers across the city. The van's success at the horse show not only reflected the company's dedication to its horses but also its reputation for quality and reliability. This historical photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of horse-drawn transportation and the importance of the horse in commercial operations during the early 1900s.
