EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print titled 'Twelve of the old boys who lorded it in the streets of London with hansom and growler. ' Taken on 15 June 1923, outside the Cab Drivers Benevolent Association officers in Soho Square, this monochrome image captures a remarkable moment from days gone by. In this nostalgic scene, twelve seasoned cabbies proudly parade together, their combined ages totaling an astonishing 1010 years. These veteran drivers were once the kings of London's bustling streets, skillfully maneuvering their iconic hansom and growler carriages through the city's labyrinthine roads. The photograph exudes a sense of camaraderie as these distinguished gentlemen stand side by side, each one representing a chapter in London's rich history. Their weathered faces tell tales of countless journeys undertaken and memories made during an era when horse-drawn carriages ruled supreme. Preserved by Central News for posterity, this Europeana photography treasure offers us a glimpse into a bygone era. It serves as a poignant reminder of how much has changed over time while also celebrating the enduring spirit of those who shaped our cities' transport systems. This print is not just about commercial use; it is about cherishing our heritage and appreciating those who came before us. Let this evocative image transport you to early 20th century London and inspire you to reflect upon the progress we have made since then.
