EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "View of Woolwich Ferry, 1896" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of London over a century ago. The image, captured by an English photographer from the 19th century and preserved by the London Metropolitan Archives, offers a glimpse into the city's public transport system during that era. In this snapshot of history, we see the iconic Woolwich Ferry in action. The ferry itself is not visible in this particular frame; instead, our attention is drawn to some workers at its entrance. They appear busy and engaged with their tasks as they facilitate the loading off of a horse-drawn cart nearby. The scene exudes an air of efficiency and purposefulness as people go about their daily routines. It serves as a reminder of how vital public services like transportation were even back then. This photo captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects on society's reliance on water transport during that period. The monochromatic nature of this print adds depth and character to the composition while highlighting intricate details such as architectural elements and facial expressions. As we delve into this historical artifact through photography's lens, we are transported back to an era long gone yet forever imprinted within these frames.
