EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white illustration by George Cruikshank that transports us back to the bustling streets of London in the 19th century. The image captures a pivotal moment in transportation history as it depicts the transition from horse-drawn cabs to the first omnibuses. In this lively scene, we see a dapper cab driver bidding farewell to his beloved profession while waving at his successor - an enthusiastic young man ready to embark on his new journey as an omnibus cad. The artist skillfully portrays the contrasting emotions of these two men; one filled with nostalgia for a bygone era, and the other brimming with excitement for what lies ahead. The busy urban street serves as a backdrop for this historical shift in transport. People go about their daily activities, adding depth and realism to the scene. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse of Victorian life - its charm, energy, and constant evolution. This print not only showcases George Cruikshank's artistic talent but also pays homage to Charles Dickens' literary works. It was originally created as an illustration for "Sketches by Boz" capturing Dickens' keen observations of society during that time. As we admire this timeless piece, we are reminded of how transportation has shaped our cities over centuries. It invites us to reflect on progress and change while appreciating those who came before us - like these cab drivers who played such crucial roles in moving people
