Well, he DOES look pretty talented.
To get that photographic level of precision, I would expect more something along the lines of a modern horse using an Image Generation AI coupled to a Natural Language Processor trained on horse sounds.
You mean a million monkeys typing randomly on a typewriter until they happen to write Shakespeare?
Clearly a photograph of a horse-drawn bus from the 1890's would be black and white.
Colorized by AI
It's obviously a modern color photograph of an old black and white photograph from the 1890s.
You raise a good point.
Silly, it's of rich people shit. They had color photography far before all the plebeians.
It might have been horse-drawn in the 1890s with color paint, and years later photographed with a modern camera.
Bravo.
As God's own truth, the horse took brush in hoof and drew this bus.
As a side note, I’m skeptical that a shrimp could fry rice, or anything else for that matter, since they have pretty tiny hands and probably would have a great deal of trouble gripping cooking utensils or the handle of the pan
Yes, this is what's commonly known as a callback joke.
That particular omnibus seems to be a modern replica:

Some buses of the time period did have a similar multi-floor design. This one is from the 1880s:
And if you look at the reflection in the wood panelling, the photograph was clearly taken by a giant pigeon.
It was taken by the gnome inside the giant pigeons eye. Because you can't see the camera the pigeon would have to be holding. But it does appear as though the pigeon is looking directly at the bus.
Swanky ride honestly
I think you'll find the horse is being drawn by the bus.
"I'll be your french horse"
I don't think this bus could draw a horse either.
Or take a photograph of it, for that matter.
Equine Slop!
Is that a big pigeon shadow on the top?
Hmmm... perhaps a pigeon took this photo?
The plot thickens.
everything has been a downward spiral since we stopped using glossy wood veneer
Seems better in every way tbh
Has Ron ever looked inside a camera? Some of them have a few horsepower.
Also one would expect to see a theme more interesting for horses - like, say, grass - in a drawing from a horse, though maybe this one could be more of a social critique, subtly alluding to the plight of enslaved horses.
Believe me, the horses have already had their revenge.
