Bible and ticket punchers. 5th March 1954
It might have been beneficial at that, but it gave me the impression as if somebody was shooting at a sitting bird when one of these religious sandwich men boarded the number 13 bus and started too dish out a bit of the gospel to the defenceless passengers and finally he concentrated on the unfortunate conductor who must be polite to the passengers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured on the 5th of March 1954 by Bela Zola, takes us back to a time when public transportation was not only a means of getting from point A to point B but also an unexpected stage for religious fervor. The image showcases two contrasting figures - Bible and ticket punchers. The scene unfolds inside a London double-decker bus, where passengers find themselves caught between their daily commute and an impromptu sermon. As one can imagine, this peculiar encounter left quite an impression on those present that day. The photograph captures the essence of surprise and discomfort felt by the defenseless passengers as they become unwilling participants in this spiritual discourse. While some may argue that such encounters were beneficial, providing moments of reflection or inspiration during otherwise mundane journeys, others couldn't help but feel like sitting ducks under fire. The unsuspecting conductor becomes the primary target for this evangelist's message while trying to maintain his composure amidst the chaos. Bela Zola's lens transports us back to a different era in London's history - the bustling inner boroughs filled with iconic red buses navigating through narrow streets. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how religion permeated every aspect of life at that time – even within the confines of public transport. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded that history is often shaped by unexpected encounters and fleeting moments frozen in time.
