EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a woman in the fashionable attire of the 1940s climbs aboard a iconic Routemaster bus in London. Dressed in a stylish coat with a belted waist and a chic turban-style hat, she exudes an air of elegance and determination as she ascends the steps of the double-decker bus. The bus, numbered 7, is destined for Holborn, as indicated by the sign on the front. The Routemaster bus, a beloved symbol of London's transport history, was introduced in 1954 and remained in service until 2005. However, this photograph, with its wartime feel and the woman's 1940s outfit, suggests an earlier date. The woman's coat, with its cinched waist and full skirt, is reminiscent of the fashionable styles of the time, while her hat adds a touch of glamour and sophistication. Despite the challenges of the war, the woman's determination to travel and reach her destination is evident in her confident stride as she boards the bus. The photograph captures a moment of everyday life in London during the 1940s, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the resilience and style of the city's inhabitants. The Routemaster bus, with its distinctive design and iconic status, provides the perfect backdrop for this scene of urban travel. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of public transport and the importance of being able to move freely around a city, even in the face of adversity. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a beautiful and evocative reminder of London's transport history and the fashionable women who travelled on its buses during the 1940s.
