Clawfoot tubs were luxury items in the late 19c. They were typically made from cast iron and porcelain, and required more water than regular tubs.

This is a photo of a hansom cab, taken in 1877. Hansom cabs served as a sort of taxi for Victorian clientele; they were invented in 1834 by Joseph Hansom, an architect from York, and quickly outstripped other modes of transportation in popularity due to how fast and light they were. They also only required one horse, making them cheaper; around 30 cents for a mile. They sat 2-3 passengers.
