EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the thrilling world of the late 1890s with this image of an Electric Cab from Mary Evans Prints Online, dated 1897. The futuristic vehicle, adorned with advertisements for three prominent publications of the era - The Graphic, Daily Graphic, and Golden Penny - offers a glimpse into the burgeoning age of electrical motoring. The driver, dressed in a smart uniform, expertly navigates the streets of London, his stern expression hinting at the concentration required to maneuver this innovative mode of transport. The horseless cab, with its sleek design and gleaming surface, stands in stark contrast to the horse-drawn carriages that once dominated the city's streets. The advertisements on the side of the cab serve as a testament to the power of print media during this period. The Graphic and Daily Graphic were popular illustrated weekly magazines that covered a wide range of topics, from politics and society to science and art. The Golden Penny, a penny-sized newspaper, targeted the working class with its affordable price and accessible content. This electric cab represents the intersection of transportation and communication technologies, symbolizing the rapid advancements that were transforming daily life in London and beyond. The advertisements on the cab not only served to promote these publications but also contributed to the city's vibrant visual landscape, making this image a fascinating snapshot of the past.
