Brougham carriage

Description

A Brougham Pronounced "Broom" Or "Brohm" Was A Light, Four-Wheeled Horse-Drawn Carriage Built In The 19Th Century. It Was Named After Scottish Jurist Lord Brougham, Who Had This Type Of Carriage Built To His Specification By London Coachbuilder Robinson & Cook In 1838 Or 1839. It Had An Enclosed Body With Two Doors, Like The Rear Section Of A Coach; It Sat Two, Sometimes With An Extra Pair Of Fold-Away Seats In The Front Corners, And With A Box Seat In Front For The Driver And A Footman Or Passenger. Unlike A Coach, The Carriage Had A Glazed Front Window, So That The Occupants Could See Forward. The Forewheels Were Capable Of Turning Sharply. A Variant, Called A Brougham-Landaulet, Had A Top Collapsible From The Rear Doors Backward. In 19Th-Century London, Broughams Previously Owned And Used As Private Carriages Were Commonly Sold Off For Use As Hackney Carriages, Often Displaying Painted-Over Traces Of The Previous Owner'S Coat Of Arms On The Carriage Doors. The Special Characteristics Of The Brougham Bear A Distinct Similarity To The London Public Carriage Office'S "Conditions Of Fitness" For A Vehicle Intending To Be Licenced As A Taxi Cab.
