EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early 20th century, capturing a significant moment in history. The image showcases a group of determined women, bus conductresses in training during World War I. Published in the Illustrated London News on February 3rd, 1917, this engraving by Samuel Begg offers an intriguing glimpse into their journey towards mastering their new profession. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness these courageous women defying societal norms and stepping into roles traditionally dominated by men. With focused expressions and unwavering determination etched on their faces, they are seen learning to navigate motor buses - symbolizing both progress and empowerment. The term "getting their sea legs" aptly describes the challenges faced by these trailblazing women as they adapt to their newfound responsibilities. Just like sailors adjusting to life at sea, these aspiring bus conductresses must learn how to maintain balance amidst the constant motion of public transportation. This lithograph serves as a testament to the resilience and strength of women who bravely ventured into male-dominated trades during times of great change. It reminds us that progress often comes with obstacles but also opens doors for future generations. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this historic artwork from Bridgeman Images continues to inspire viewers with its portrayal of pioneering spirit and determination against all odds.
