Ludgate Circus, London, 1896: A Vibrant and Busy Everyday Scene of the 19th Century This photograph taken in 1896 depicts Ludgate Circus, a bustling intersection in the heart of London during the 1890s. The image captures the essence of the era, with its horse-drawn vehicles, open-deck buses, and omnibuses, all navigating the crowded streets. The photograph showcases an array of intriguing advertisements adorning the sides of public transport and buildings. On the left, a large advertisement for Hindes Hair Curlers, featuring an elegant woman with perfectly curled hair, graces the side of a bus. Nearby, a billboard for Beethams Clycerine and Cucumber Sauce, with its enticing tagline "For the Table of the Gentry," catches the eye. In the background, the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral stands proudly, its dome a familiar London landmark. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of various street vendors, selling their wares, and passersby, all contributing to the lively atmosphere. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the everyday life and advertising culture of late 19th-century London. From Colman's Starch and Bovril, to Pin and Beethams, the diverse range of advertisements reflects the commercial vibrancy of the era. This image invites us to explore the rich history of London and its advertising heritage.
