🐎 Brougham Carriage 1838 — the Victorian era's most popular private taxi before motorcars existed.
Lord Brougham personally designed this compact single horse carriage so that one person could travel privately and quickly through London streets without needing a large expensive team of horses.
This single design became so popular that the word Brougham was later used to describe the first enclosed body style of early motorcars.
Drop a 🔥 if you had no idea this carriage influenced car design forever.
