Horse-drawn Traffic in Euston Rd
A close brush with the precursor to the number 73 bus in Victorian London.
Overview
This film, possibly taken on the Euston Road looking east from the junction with Woburn Place, shows heavy traffic of a different era. The cameraman is making the most of the busy road, positioning the apparatus close enough that the approaching vehicles rapidly fill the frame as they rush past – an effect so familiar to early cinema audience that it was satirised in films such as The Countryman and the Cinematograph. After a close brush with the precursor to the number 73 bus (destination Hyde Park Corner) the camera records several other carriages passing.
