Female Horse Taxi Driver - Paris
Female cab driver in Paris - Madame Charnier - holding a whip, her legs wrapped up in a warm blanket. Lady cab drivers were seen by paying customers as a far safer bet than their male counterparts and reaped the financial reward accordingly. Some male drivers even dressed up as women to gain more business! This cab is displaying a sign Libre to signify the cab was available for hire
