EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hansom of 1837 and Hansom of Today" beautifully captures the progress and contrast between two eras. The image, taken by J. R. Sinclair in the 19th century, showcases a hansom cab from that time period alongside its modern counterpart. The passage of time is vividly depicted through this powerful visual representation. As we gaze at the photograph, we are transported back to Victorian England when these iconic cabs were a common sight on bustling streets. The horse-drawn carriage exudes an air of elegance and nostalgia, symbolizing the endearing charm of a bygone era. In stark contrast, standing beside it is its contemporary equivalent – a sleek and modern taxi representing our present-day transportation system. This striking comparison highlights how much has changed over the years as technology advanced and society evolved. The image also alludes to Queen Victoria's reign, with references to Balmoral Castle where she spent her summers with her children. It serves as a reminder that even though times have changed dramatically since then, certain elements endure - like the joyous laughter of children who remain at the heart of every era. Through this thought-provoking composition, we are reminded not only of how far we've come but also how important it is to embrace change while cherishing our past. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect on history's enduring influence on our lives today.
