EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures the chaos and danger of a bustling street in the 1880s. In the midst of horse-drawn cabs and loaded wagons, one brave man dares to cross the hazardous road while a couple is caught between two massive vehicles. The lack of pedestrian crossings makes this scene even more perilous, with an accident waiting to happen at any moment.
The historical significance of this image is palpable, transporting us back to a time when city streets were chaotic and unpredictable. The couple's expressions convey their fear and uncertainty as they navigate through the crowded thoroughfare, surrounded by bales of cotton and other goods being transported by horse-drawn wagons.

This print serves as a stark reminder of how far we have come in terms of transportation safety and infrastructure. It also highlights the resilience and courage required to navigate such hazardous conditions on a daily basis.
Overall, this image is not just a snapshot from history but also a powerful commentary on urban life and the risks inherent in navigating busy city streets without proper pedestrian protections.
