EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of 'Outside on a London Horse Bus' from Mary Evans Picture Library. Dated 1884, this image offers a rare glimpse into the historical world of horse-drawn transportation. The photograph showcases a passenger in deep conversation with the bus driver, both of them standing outside the bus, which is parked near the River Thames. The horse, harnessed and ready to pull the vehicle, stands quietly in the background. The horse bus, a common mode of transport during the late 19th century in the United Kingdom, was an essential part of London's transportation infrastructure. These buses, which were drawn by horses, were an improvement over the earlier horse-drawn omnibuses, as they offered more seating capacity and were more comfortable for passengers. Despite the advancements in technology, the horse bus remained a popular choice among Londoners due to its affordability and accessibility. The passengers, who were often working-class individuals, would stand outside the bus while it was in motion, holding on to the exterior handles for balance. This practice, known as 'hanging on,' was a common sight on London's streets during this era. The image also provides a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling streets of London during the Victorian era. The buildings, some adorned with intricate architectural details, line the streets, while the river, with its boats and barges, adds to the scene's picturesque beauty. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of transportation in London but also a reminder of the human connection that existed between the driver and the passengers, even in the most mundane of daily activities. It's a snapshot of a bygone era, one that transports us back in time and offers a glimpse into the daily lives of Londoners over a century ago.
