BUY PRINT Easter 1911. St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York. George Grantham Bain Collection.
Note the pair of
Hansom cabs, named after the inventor (Joseph Hansom) and the type of carriage (cabriolet). Hansom cabriolets fitted with taximeters became known as
taxicabs. Note the "curtain" in front of the cab -- to keep the passenger from having to see the horse do what horses do. |
