EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1885, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of London during the Victorian era. The photograph features a lady elegantly dressed in a long, flowing skirt and a high-necked blouse, being driven through the city in a classic hansom cab. The hansom cab, a popular mode of transportation during the 19th century, is pulled by a powerful horse, its shiny black body reflecting the sunlight. The cab driver, dressed in a traditional dark coat and bowler hat, skillfully navigates the crowded streets, maneuvering the horse and vehicle with ease. The lady, with a look of excitement and anticipation on her face, clutches a parasol in one hand and holds on to the cab's railing with the other. The scene is filled with a sense of adventure and romance, as the lady enjoys the sights and sounds of the city from the comfort of the hansom cab. The photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Robert Sauber, captures the essence of London life during the Victorian era. The horse-drawn vehicles, the fashionable attire, and the lively energy of the city are all beautifully portrayed in this stunning image. This photograph is not only a testament to the rich history of London but also a reminder of the charm and elegance of a bygone era.
