This print captures a scene from the bustling streets of Westminster during the 17th century, as Hackney coaches and their drivers eagerly await fares. The image provides a glimpse into the transportation methods of the time, with horse-drawn carriages serving as the primary mode of travel for both locals and visitors alike.
The Hackney coaches, distinguishable by their ornate design and sturdy build, stand ready to whisk passengers away to their desired destinations. The drivers, dressed in period-appropriate attire, exude a sense of professionalism and expertise as they navigate through the crowded streets in search of potential customers.
In the background, historic landmarks such as Westminster Abbey and St. Margaret's Church serve as a reminder of London's rich history and cultural significance during this era. The presence of King Charles I further adds to the historical context of the photograph, highlighting a time when royal influence played a significant role in shaping daily life in England.
