Artist's Description
Colorized photo from 1915
Original Title: London motor bus
Photographer: Bain News
Location: 351 Strand, London WC2R 0HS, United Kingdom
A popular icon in London is the double-Decker bus, they had these even when horses pulled them, complete with the spiral staircase in the back. But back in those days, they weren't all red.
Making them red was started by the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC). They existed from 1855 to 1933. They started with horse drawn carriages, and as they grew as a business, they would buy their competition, so by 1908, they had controlled 600 of the 810 omnibuses. They were able to buy out their competition and became a monopoly.
This particular bus is Service 11, it was introduced in 1906, and it runs on the oldest continuously operated routes in London. See that puff of smoke, its actually steam, as from what I understand, were all steam powered buses.
Oh and that red color, buses in the past were all sorts of colors,...
About Mike Savad
My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
