EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a Hansom cab from the year 1868, taken at Tunbridge Railway Station in Britain. The Hansom cab, a two-wheeled carriage for hire drawn by a single horse, was a common mode of transportation during the 1860s and was named after its inventor, Joseph Hansom. In this photograph, the cab is shown in its prime, with the driver skillfully maneuvering the vehicle while two passengers sit comfortably in the back. The cab's sleek design, featuring a low profile and a distinctive canopy, allowed for a smoother ride than its predecessors. The horse, harnessed and ready to go, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The railway station in the background, with its grand architecture and steam trains, underscores the significance of the transportation revolution that was taking place during this era. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating look at the way people traveled during the 19th century and the role that horses and carriages played in shaping the transportation landscape of the time.
