EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a City of Edinburgh Cleansing Department lorry from the early 1900s. This vintage photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to an era of horse-drawn vehicles and lantern slides. The City of Edinburgh Cleansing Department was responsible for maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the Scottish capital during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. In this photograph, we see one of their early motorized lorries, which would have been a significant innovation in their operations. The lorry, with its large dustbin at the back, would have been used to collect and transport waste from the streets of Edinburgh. The horse and cart had long been the preferred mode of transportation for such tasks, but the introduction of motorized vehicles marked a turning point in the history of urban waste management. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the transition from horse-drawn vehicles to motorized ones and the modernization of city services. The photograph's muted colors and grainy texture add to its vintage charm, making it a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Edinburgh or urban development. Whether you're an historian, a collector, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this image is sure to captivate and inspire.
