EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of London's new all-weather bus in 1927, as depicted in "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd. in 1935. With Buckingham Palace serving as a majestic backdrop, this image showcases the transformation that took place when the London General Omnibus Company was granted permission to run their passenger services past this iconic landmark. During this era, covered-top buses began replacing their open-top counterparts, providing passengers with protection from unpredictable weather conditions. This photograph beautifully portrays one such double-decker bus navigating through a bustling avenue in Westminster, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. The neoclassical architecture surrounding the scene adds to its timeless appeal. As tourists and locals alike traverse the streets of London, this mode of public transport becomes not only a means to reach their destinations but also a symbol of British ingenuity and progress during the early 20th century. Although the creator remains unknown, their artistic vision has immortalized an important moment in London's transportation history. Through this photo print, we are transported back to an era where innovation met tradition on the city's roads – forever capturing our fascination with travel and exploration.
