A steam omnibus operating on the Paddington to City of London service. Despite the introduction of the first steam omnibus in 1833, horse-drawn buses, first introduced in London in 1829, remained more common and survived until 1912 when they were superseded by the new motorised omnibuses. Pencil sketch copied from a lithograph by J.R. Barfoot.
For Barfoot's lithograph see ref. 14856.
