EDITORS COMMENTS
This comical print, titled "Cardriver plying for Hire, 1852" captures the vibrant streets of ancient Rome with a humorous twist. Created by artist John Leech as part of "The Comic History of Rome" illustrated by Gilbert A A Beckett, this artwork takes us back in time to witness the bustling transportation scene in Italy. In this satirical portrayal, we see a male cardriver standing proudly on his chariot-like taxi cab. With a mischievous grin on his face, he navigates through the crowded Roman street with confidence and flair. The cartoonish depiction adds an amusing touch to the scene, making it impossible not to smile at the absurdity of it all. As we delve into this monochrome world filled with caricatures and engravings, we can't help but appreciate how history intertwines with humor. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found amusement in everyday life situations. Through Leech's artistic talent and Beckett's storytelling prowess, they transport us back to ancient Rome where regulations and road transport were far from what we know today. It is fascinating to observe how concepts like taxis existed even during those times but were adapted according to their era. "The Cardriver plying for Hire" invites us to take a lighthearted journey through time while appreciating the wit and creativity embedded within historical art forms.
