EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of a Growler Cab in the bustling streets of Victorian London, as depicted in an antique lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. The Growler Cab, a precursor to the modern taxi, was a popular mode of transportation in London during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This open-topped vehicle, drawn by a horse, offered a unique experience for passengers as they navigated the city's cobblestone roads. The image showcases the cab's distinctive features, including its high wheels, wooden body, and ornate decorative elements. The horse, harnessed and ready to go, adds to the vintage charm of the scene. The photograph also captures the essence of London during this era, with its bustling streets, horse-drawn carriages, and Victorian architecture. The lantern slide, a type of photographic transparency used for projection, adds an extra layer of historical significance to the image. This photograph is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into London's past and the evolution of transportation. The Growler Cab in this photograph is a reminder of a time when horses and carriages were the primary means of transportation in London's bustling streets. This image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Victorian London, making it a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, vintage photography, or the city of London itself.
