EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Hugh Thomson, titled "Cabs and their drivers" offers a glimpse into the world of horse-drawn carriages and the interactions between passengers and cab drivers in early 20th century Europe. The scene depicts a moment frozen in time, where a man is seen reaching into his pocket to pay the exact fare to the carriage driver. Meanwhile, the driver sits attentively, looking at his hand after receiving payment without any tip. Thomson's attention to detail brings this bustling street scene to life. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical appearance of the cabs and their drivers but also conveys an atmosphere filled with anticipation and perhaps even slight disappointment on behalf of the driver who did not receive an additional gratuity. Through this artwork, Thomson sheds light on social customs surrounding transportation during that era. It serves as a reminder that tipping practices have long been ingrained in society, highlighting how even small gestures can impact those working in service industries. As we admire this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are transported back in time to witness a snapshot of daily life when horse-drawn cabs were commonplace on European streets. Thomson's work continues to captivate viewers today by offering glimpses into history through his artistic lens.
