Book Synopsis
The Hansom cab is one of the most striking images of the Victorian city, but it was not the only type of cab in use during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. This title traces the origins of the horse cab and the improvements in its design in the period, and celebrates the cab drivers themselves, who had a reputation for quick-wittedness.
