Through London by Omnibus

MESSAGE:
I stumbled across the attached image in a Maas Gallery catalogue from 1997. It shows a grisaille oil on canvas painting by William Logsdail from 1888 entitled 'Through London by Omnibus'. (Apologies for the poor quality scan, the image from the catalogue was rather small). You may have noticed the bearded gentleman boarding the omnibus and the lady already seated up top at the front. Looks like Nino and his wife are running late for the Royal Academy exhibition...

 RESPONSES:

Indeed, it does. :) 

Thanks for sharing this.  It's lovely!
And Mr. Wolf reading his newspaper...I missed this post until now...

BTW: they have finally added a good photograph of Joseph Wolf online with a brief biography:
