Police lines keep the cabby where he belongs. Photo by Arthur Hewitt. The picture shows two types of cabs in common use in New York – the four-seat "hack" and the two-wheeled hansom. In addition there were open, four-seat cabs called "victorias". The hansom itself became extinct with the arrival of the motor cab, but the name became attached to the horse drawn cabs that now drive tourists around Central Park. Source: Outing magazine, vol.
