EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph from 1902, two cabbies engage in a completely bizarre conversation at the cab rank, their faces expressionless as they try to identify a mutual acquaintance. The exchange, filled with misunderstandings and confusion, seems almost surreal in its complexity. "Have you seen anything of Whatyercallim?" one cabby asks, his voice barely audible above the clatter of horse hooves and the gentle lapping of water against the dockside. "Who? Do you mean Whatsisname?" the other responds, a quizzical look on his face. "No, not Im - that other one," the first cabby clarifies, holding up a hand for emphasis. "Oh, I saw Im alright!" the second cabby exclaims, a look of relief crossing his features. "But I haven't seen the other one for ages!" Despite the confusion, both cabbies appear to understand one another, a testament to their shared experiences and the unique dialect of the local cabbies. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, when horse-drawn carriages were still a common sight on the streets and cabbies relied on word of mouth to keep abreast of the latest news and gossip. The photograph captures the essence of a confusing yet endearing conversation between two countryfolk, a dialogue that might seem strange to outsiders but holds a special meaning for those in the know. With the horses standing patiently in the background, the scene is a snapshot of history, a reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace and conversations were a source of entertainment and connection.
