Business card in retro style for taxi company

Before the appearance of taxis as we are used to seeing, there were cabs.

Cab, sometimes cab (English cab ← cabriolet) - a hired horse-drawn carriage, common mainly in Great Britain in the XVII-XIX centuries. It accommodated, in addition to the coachman, from one to four passengers.

And the most common was the Hansom's cab.

Hansom is the most famous variety of cab, named after the inventor, Joseph Aloysius Hansom. This is a two-wheeled carriage. The inventor tried to make the most compact design with the lowest possible center of gravity. Thanks to these qualities, the Hansom cab made it possible to achieve high speed and maneuverability. The coachman was located top-back. The reins were passed through special brackets on the roof.

The name of the company emphasizes the reliability and provenance of the company over the years, which was reflected in the retro-styled business card.
