EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Portsmouth in 1901. At the Kings road junction, a horse-drawn tram stands proudly, showcasing an era when transportation relied on the strength and grace of these magnificent animals. The scene captures a moment just before the electrification of the system, marking a significant transition in urban mobility. In this snapshot of history, we see both male and female passengers aboard the tram, dressed in their finest attire. Their expressions hint at anticipation or perhaps simply enjoying a leisurely ride through town. The vehicle itself exudes charm with its box-like structure and wooden wheels that have traversed countless miles along these roads. The presence of horses as integral members of this transport system is undeniable. They were not only working animals but also companions who shared daily routines with their human counterparts. As they trotted along the road, they became part of everyday life for residents and visitors alike. This print from Hulton Archive offers us a glimpse into Europe's past where horse-drawn trams were an essential mode of transport connecting communities within cities like Portsmouth. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes hand-in-hand with change but also allows us to appreciate how far we have come in terms of technological advancements shaping our modern world today.
