Bound for a Beano, 1900 (1933) - Londoners Embark on an Excursion to the Countryside
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment in time from the early 20th century when Londoners eagerly boarded a horse-brake for their annual works day out. The term "beano" colloquially referring to an excursion or celebration, perfectly encapsulates the joy and anticipation radiating from the faces of these men and women. The image showcases a charabanc-style vehicle filled with excited passengers ready to escape the bustling city streets of London. The destination? Golders Green, Hendon, or Wembley - once countryside areas that provided respite from urban life. As we delve into this snapshot of history, we witness both male and female workers united in their quest for leisure. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the era - long skirts and tailored suits - while their expressions reveal pure delight at the prospect of leaving behind their daily routines. The photographer's identity remains unknown; however, they skillfully captured not only the people but also conveyed a sense of movement through frozen time. The horses pulling this charming horse-drawn vehicle add another layer of nostalgia to this scene. This remarkable print serves as a testament to how public transportation played an integral role in facilitating social gatherings during this period. It reminds us that even amidst industrialization and progress, people still yearned for moments of camaraderie and connection with nature. Preserved by Heritage Images, this photograph invites us to step back in time and experience firsthand what it meant for these hardworking individuals to embark on such outings – bound together by excitement, adventure, and shared memories.
