Two sedan chairmen of Edinburgh, Donald Kennedy, seated on the pole of the sedan chair, and Donald Black standing. The Society of Chairmen, mostly Highlanders, flourished from 1740 but suffered from competition by Hackney cabs. Copperplate engraving by John Kay from A Series of Original Portraits and Caricature Etchings, Hugh Paton, Edinburgh, 1842.
