The Manchester Three-Horse Omnibus, 1856. Creator: Unknown
The Manchester Three-Horse Omnibus, 1856. Public transport in the provinces. Among [the species of public accommodation]...are several variations: that which we have engraved carries seventeen passengers inside and twenty-five outside - two on each side the driver, five on the seat behind, and eight on each side-seat. The raised part in the roof serves as a back to the seats on the sides, and allows space inside for a good-sized man to walk up the centre of the omnibus. There is no door; the conductor communicates with the driver by means of a bell placed under the seat of the latter. The driver can put the breaks [sic] on the wheels to facilitate the sudden stopping, by a treadle on the foot-board. The driver and conductor do not wear any uniform'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
