Double Decker Bus And Carriage, Lead Mine Drawing, England, Street Scene, 1920s

Interesting pencil drawing of a busy street scene at the start of the 20th century in England. The peculiarity of this work lies in the staging of a key period in the history of means of transport: the decline (not to say the end!) Of the horse-drawn carriage and the appearance of motorized vehicles, in the occurrence for our drawing: the presence of a double-decker bus in the background of the stage, just behind the carriage. The artist undoubtedly did not realize that he represented the end of one era and the beginning of another at the time of the execution of his drawing, which gives even more charm to the whole! This drawing is in very good condition, it is presented in a wooden frame with a golden strip, and highlighted by an elegant marie louise in aubergine color. It has a TS monogram at the bottom right. Dimensions drawing only, at sight: 23cm x 15.5cm Shipping costs Metropolitan France 20 euros, other destinations contact us.
