	Joseph Hansom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Joseph Aloysius Hansom (October 26, 1803 - June 29, 1882) was an English architect who invented the Hansom cab.
		Hansom was born in Micklegate, York and baptised as Josephus Aloysius Handsom(e), to a Roman Catholic family.
		On December 23, 1834 he registered the design of a Patent Safety Cab, on the suggestion of his employer, and subsequently sold the patent to a company for £10,000, which, however, owing to the company's financial difficulties, was never paid.

	Hansom cab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Hansom cab is a kind of horse-drawn carriage first designed and patented in 1834 by Joseph Hansom, an architect from Hinckley, Leicestershire, England.
		Hansom cabs enjoyed immense popularity as they were fast, light enough to be pulled by a single horse, (making the journey cheaper than travelling in a larger four-wheel coach) and were agile enough to steer around horse-drawn vehicles in the notorious traffic jams of nineteenth-century London.
		The Hansom Cab quickly spread to other cities in the United Kingdom, as well as continental European cities, particularly Paris, Berlin, and St Petersburg.

		The Hansom cab was one of the principal means of transport for decades because of its twin virtues of stability and privacy.

	Merriam-Webster Online
		We don't know what Joseph Aloysius Hansom, who was born on this date in 1803, looked like, but we do know the link between the architect's patented 1834 invention (the hansom carriage) and the adjective handsome is more than skin deep.
		Although one might well describe the hansom as handsome, that name for the low, two-wheeled closed carriage comes from the inventor's surname, not from its appearance (nor from any potentially handsome sight of its driver handling the reins from his elevated seat located outside and in the rear of the carriage).
		In fact, for nearly a century, such hansom carriages or cabs—updated and improved—were the customary vehicles for hire, and spotting one on a rainy day was surely a sight for sore eyes.
