EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a Horsebus, also known as The Royal Caledonian Basket, making its way through the streets of Glasgow around 1825. The Horsebus was a popular mode of transportation during this era, connecting Glasgow with its neighboring town, Paisley. The finely dressed pedestrian, barefoot and without an umbrella, adds an intriguing element to the scene. His attire suggests that he is of high social standing, yet his bare feet indicate that he may have been unable to afford shoes or that he preferred to go without them. This contrast between his dressed state and his bare feet is a reminder of the social and economic disparities that existed during this period. The Horsebus itself is a marvel of engineering and design. The horse, harnessed to the vehicle, pulls the basket-like structure, which is open on all sides, allowing passengers to step in and out easily. The passengers, mostly women and children, are seated on wooden benches, some holding onto their hats or shawls as they travel. This image is a testament to the rich history of transportation in Glasgow and the surrounding areas. The Horsebus was an essential part of the daily lives of people during this time, providing a means of travel that was faster and more convenient than walking. The Royal Caledonian Basket, with its distinctive design and horse-drawn power, is a reminder of a bygone era when travel was a more leisurely and communal experience. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of travel during the early 19th century. It is a fascinating reminder of the history and heritage of Glasgow and the role that transportation played in shaping the city and its people.
