EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1885. In this historic moment frozen in time, we witness an extraordinary scene unfolding on an ordinary omnibus ride to Piccadilly Circus. The central figure is none other than Mr. Gladstone himself, one of Britain's most influential politicians of the time. Dressed immaculately in a sailor suit and topped with a distinguished top hat, Mr. Gladstone stands out amongst his fellow passengers. With his walking stick firmly in hand and newspaper tucked under his arm, he exudes an air of sophistication and purpose. As the carriage rumbles through the busy city streets, we can imagine the lively conversations taking place within its confines. Ordinary citizens from all walks of life find themselves sharing this unique experience with their esteemed political leader. The painting skillfully captures not only the physical details but also the essence of public transportation during this era - a melting pot where social classes intersected momentarily before dispersing into their separate worlds once again. With umbrellas neatly stowed away overhead and newspapers rustling between hands, this image serves as a reminder that even great leaders like Mr. Gladstone were not exempt from everyday routines or traveling alongside their constituents. Through Alfred Morgan's masterful brushstrokes, we are transported back to a bygone era where horse-drawn buses ruled the roads and political figures mingled with ordinary folk on their daily commutes – a truly remarkable snapshot frozen forever in oil on canvas.
