In this scene, the cabbie holds open the door of his carriage, ready to welcome passengers for a journey through the city.
The London cabbie was not just a driver, but also a character in his own right - part of the fabric of daily life in Victorian England. While some cabbies drove brisker two-seater hansoms, others preferred the more spacious and elegant Victoria four-wheelers.
