EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving takes us back to the bustling streets of Canal Street, New Orleans in 1882. The image showcases a scene filled with cab drivers vying for fares, their carriages elegantly traversing the cobbled roads of this vibrant city. With its retro style and intricate woodcut details, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of 19th-century travel. The engraving depicts a fascinating form of communication between these taxi drivers and potential passengers. Dressed in traditional clothing that reflects the Victorian era, these drivers can be seen gesturing and hailing towards passersby, hoping to secure a fare for their horse-drawn vehicles. Their top hats add an air of sophistication to their appearance while also hinting at the social norms prevalent during that time. Notably, among the diverse group of cab drivers shown in this print is an individual representing African ethnicity—an important reminder of New Orleans' rich cultural heritage. This inclusion adds depth and historical context to the artwork by acknowledging different ethnicities within transportation occupations during that period. As we gaze upon this black-and-white masterpiece from Duncan1890's collection, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in a snapshot from history when personal land vehicles were powered by animals rather than engines. It serves as a testament to how far transportation has evolved since then while also celebrating the charm and nostalgia associated with old-world modes of transport like taxis on Canal Street.
