About the Item
A charming photograph of an elephant cadging an apple from an obliging, friendly London tram driver along Gray's Inn road in Central West London.
The first street tram in a city was in fact in New York. The New York and Harlem line opened in 1832, and coined the term still used today: street railway.
It was thanks to American promoters of the concept of the street railway, or tram, that Europe ultimately benefited. Birkenhead in England opened its tramway in 1860, followed shortly after by London in 1861.
This London tram was running between the Kingsway suburb via Westminster to Battersea in Wandsworth.
Battersea was home to the Battersea Power Station, built only 7 years prior to this photograph originally being captured in 1936.
Photograph captured in 1936.

Untitled #30 (Policeman Big Ben), 2012 - Limited Edition Silver Gelatin print
By Giacomo Brunelli
Located in Brighton, GB
Untitled #30 (Policeman Big Ben) from the series Eternal London is a Limited Edition Silver Gelatin print by Giacomo Brunelli.
This size of 9" x 12" from a Limited Edition of 10.
As the edition sells through, the print increases in price to reflect rarity.
Giacomo Brunelli was commissioned by The Photographer's Gallery, London, to capture the heart of the capital city where he lives.
Made over the course of 2 years, Eternal London takes Brunelli's distinctive film noir aesthetic to create an evocative and atmospheric view of London, full of powerful light and shadow work.
Framed by boldly abstract silhouettes of people and animals, London's famous landmarks are presented in a less-than-obvious way, reflected in the puddles that typify English weather or looming as a mysterious structure in the background.
Captured during daily morning walks, Brunelli randomly chose a person to follow before focussing his camera on them.
Working discreetly, like early 20th century photographers such as Jacob Riis...
