A Brougham is a type of horse-drawn carriage that was popular in the 19th century. It typically features a closed cabin for passengers and an open driver's seat at the front. The design allows for easy entry and exit, making it a favored choice for social events and city travel. The Brougham was named after the British statesman Lord Brougham, who promoted its use. Over time, the term has also been used to describe certain luxury automobiles, particularly those with a similar design, emphasizing comfort and elegance in transportation.
