EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures a nostalgic glimpse into the bustling streets of London in the early 1900s, showcasing Carter's horses hard at work. The heavy shire horses, with their impressive size and strength, were essential for transporting goods through the city during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
In this black-and-white image, we see a warehouse cat casually observing as these majestic creatures pull carts laden with cargo. The scene is a testament to the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals in an era before modern transportation took over.
The attention to detail in this photograph is remarkable, from the intricate harnesses adorning each horse to the worn cobblestone streets they tread upon. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era when horsepower was quite literal.
As we gaze upon this snapshot of history, we are transported back in time to an age where labor was manual and reliance on animal power was paramount. The Carters horses embody resilience and hard work, characteristics that defined London's working class during this period.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this piece of London's past for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. It stands as a tribute to both man and beast who once shared the burden of keeping commerce moving in one of the world's most vibrant cities.
