1892 Boarding Buses Hammersmith
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of passengers boarding a horse-drawn bus in Hammersmith, London, circa 1892. This vintage image, captured by an unidentified photographer, offers a unique glimpse into the history of public transport in the late Victorian era. The Hammersmith bus, depicted in the photograph, is a two-deck omnibus, pulled by a powerful horse. The passengers, dressed in their finest attire, are seen boarding the bus from the pavement, while others are already seated inside, engaged in conversation or simply enjoying the ride. The bus stop, marked by a simple pole and a "Hammersmith" sign, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The horse, harnessed to the bus, looks calm and obedient, its eyes fixed on the driver, who is seated on the elevated platform at the front of the bus. The driver, dressed in a smart uniform, holds the reins and steers the horse with ease, demonstrating the skill and expertise required to navigate the bustling streets of London over a century ago. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the transport industry during the late 19th century. Horse-drawn buses, although labor-intensive and less efficient than their modern counterparts, were an essential mode of transportation for Londoners, connecting communities and facilitating the movement of people and goods. The Hammersmith bus in this photograph is a fascinating reminder of a bygone era, when horse-drawn vehicles ruled the streets and public transport was an integral part of daily life. This image, with its rich historical significance, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of transport, London, or the Victorian era.
