The Curricle, a two-wheeled carriage, was a popular mode of transportation in 1872. Le Vocabulaire Illustre: Voiture showcases this elegant vehicle alongside other carriages such as the Cabriolet. In an engraving titled "The Curricle, " we see various styles of driving - some opt for the Bang-Up or Random approach, while others prefer the Tandem or Four In Hand method. A glimpse into history reveals a Curricle dog-cart from around 1800 and a new patent design called the "Curricle Tribus. " Interestingly, an illustration from 1888 depicts an Ancient Briton with both a Coracle and Plow, highlighting the versatility of transport methods throughout time. Moving forward to Regency era England, we witness gentlemen in their stylish Curricles on their way to Brighton. This scene is captured in The Illustrated London News' Christmas Number of 1933, offering us a glimpse into the past. With dimensions measuring at 2321 x 1668 pixels, it's evident that this carriage commanded attention wherever it went. One particularly striking image portrays a gentleman proudly standing next to his pair of Bays harnessed to his Curricle; this artwork is signed and dated lower left. Additionally, another engraving showcases an early velocipede known as the Pedestrian Curricle dating back to approximately 1819. To complete our exploration of the world of Curricles, we delve into fashion with Full Dress attire from 1798. This serves as evidence that not only were these carriages practical but also fashionable accessories during their time.
