Horse-drawn jaunting car with passengers, passing Kingsbridge railway station. Photograph circa 1897-1904 by John J. Clarke (1879-1961). The jaunting car was the preemininent cab vehicle in 1904 Dublin. It filled the same role in Ireland as the hansom cab filled in cities and towns throughout England, North America and Australia, but the jaunting car predated the hansom and survived long after the hansom disappeared.
