Social History: This card documents a specific era of guerrilla marketing in London. It features a classic Austin FX4 black cab transformed into a mobile advertisement, completely "wrapped" in a giant reproduction of the Evening Standard newspaper. The headline, "The Hour That Lasted Till Midnight," adds a touch of dramatic mystery to this urban portrait.

Look closely to see the driver at the wheel and a pedestrian resting in the background, adding a candid street feel to the scene.

Era: Modern/Continental Era (likely late 1980s to early 1990s based on the barcode and printing style)
