EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hackney-Cab: Fifty Years Ago" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th-century London. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the iconic Hackney cab, a symbol of transportation during that era. The image depicts a horse-drawn carriage known as a Hackney cab navigating through the busy city streets. With its elegant design and sturdy build, this mode of transport was widely used for public hire. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and curve beautifully captures the essence of this historical vehicle. As we gaze upon this digitally cleaned image from Look and Learn's private collection, we are transported to a different time altogether. We can almost hear the clip-clop sound of hooves on cobblestone roads and imagine ourselves riding alongside passengers who were once part of London's vibrant tapestry. This artwork originally appeared as an illustration in Knights Pictorial Gallery of Arts, published in London around 1860. It serves as both a visual record and testament to our ever-evolving urban landscape. Let us cherish these glimpses into history that remind us how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern-day transportation systems.
