EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to the 1870s in France, where a horse-drawn open double-decker bus awaits eager passengers. The vintage vehicle, manufactured around 1878, showcases the ingenuity and innovation of the time. The top deck of the bus is open to the elements, providing an exhilarating ride for those daring enough to brave the elements. The horse, with its regal posture and determined gaze, pulls the vehicle with unwavering strength. The bus, operated by a skilled coachman, is adorned with intricate details, from the ornate metalwork to the elegant lines of the body. The passengers on the lower deck are shielded from the rain, while those on the top deck, dressed in their finest attire, are getting soaked, adding an element of adventure to their travel experience. The backdrop of the image is a bustling French street, with the iconic Bastille in the distance, signifying the urban setting of this mode of transportation. This photograph is a testament to the public's reliance on horse-drawn buses for travel during the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the simplicity and charm of a bygone era.
