This book looks at the beautiful and elegant horse cabs and also at the men who drove them - men with a reputation for quick-wittedness much like today's taxi driver. It features informative sections on the first horse cabs, the origins of the hansom cab, policing the cabs, beginning of the end...etc. One of its many highlights are the numerous vintage photos and illustrations which lend a nostalgic air to this fascinating historical work. For anyone interested in horse cabs, antique means of transportation, or the Victorian Era in general, this book should be next on your list of things to buy.
