Description: | The famous horse-drawn carriages take their name from Joseph Hansom (1803-82), an architect who promoted their use. Although he produced a design for a safety carriage, it was actually that of John Chapman that Hansom's company manufactured from 1835. Hansom Cabs were seen in most cities until the motor taxi was introduced from 1900. | Subjects: | Animals People (Active) Transport (Horse Drawn) | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | York, - | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
