EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of Victorian London with this photo print. Taken in 1896, it captures a moment on Bow Street where a distinguished Victorian gentleman finds himself objecting to the eye-catching advertisement posters adorning the windows of the London Omnibuses. As you delve into this snapshot from history, notice how these transport vehicles were transformed into moving billboards, showcasing an array of products and services that would have been familiar to Londoners at the time. From Hindes Hair Curlers to Bovril, Colmans Starch to various other enticing adverts lining the walls – each poster vies for attention amidst a sea of public passengers. The interior of the omnibus reveals men and women seated side by side, their faces reflecting curiosity or indifference towards these commercial displays. The juxtaposition between tradition and modernity is palpable as this elegant gentleman voices his objection against what he perceives as an intrusion upon his journey through advertisements. This photograph offers us a glimpse into not only daily life but also highlights how advertising has always played a significant role in shaping our urban landscapes. It serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, businesses sought innovative ways to capture consumers' attention while traversing through busy city streets.
