EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Piccadilly Circus in London, England, as it looked in 1907. The photograph, a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcases the intersection of old and new transportation methods as a horse-drawn bus shares the road with an early motor bus. Piccadilly Circus, one of the capital's most iconic landmarks, was already a bustling hub of activity in the early 20th century. The circus, named for the Eros statue at its center, was a popular meeting place and a symbol of the city's vibrant energy. The arrival of the motor bus marked a significant shift in the transportation landscape. While horse-drawn buses had been a common sight on the streets of London for decades, the motor bus represented the future. Faster, more efficient, and less reliant on animals, motor buses were the wave of the future. In this photograph, we see a horse bus, its driver in a top hat and long coat, guiding his horses through the busy intersection. The motor bus, with its sleek design and modern appearance, sits proudly behind it. The contrast between the two vehicles is a testament to the rapid pace of change in the early 1900s. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the surrounding area. The neon lights of the advertisements that would come to define Piccadilly Circus are yet to appear, and the streets are lined with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians. The image is a reminder of the rich history of Piccadilly Circus and the role it played in the evolution of transportation in London. This photograph, with its unique historical significance, is a must-have for anyone interested in London's history, transportation, or the early days of the motor bus. It is a captivating reminder of a time when the old and the new coexisted, and the future was just around the corner.
