EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a Victorian-era Growler Cab making its way through the bustling streets of London. The Growler Cab, a precursor to modern taxis, was a popular mode of transportation during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of horse-drawn carriages, gas lamps, and the magic of the Edwardian period. The horse-drawn cab is adorned with intricate details, from its ornate metalwork to the distinctive lantern on the roof. The horses, with their powerful muscles rippling as they pull the vehicle, add to the scene's authenticity. The passengers, bundled up against the cold London air, add a sense of human connection to this historic moment. The lantern on the roof of the cab casts a warm, inviting glow, illuminating the cobblestone streets and the quaint shops and houses that line them. The gas lamps along the sides of the road add to the ambiance, creating an enchanting tableau of a bygone era. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of London's transportation system and the charm of the Victorian and Edwardian periods. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who rode in these cabs, the sights they saw, and the memories they made. A true treasure for anyone with a love for history, vintage photography, or the magic of London.
