Two Irish hackney cars, formerly used by the British Military, at the Curragh Camp bringing National soldiers from the races. Photograph by W.D. Hogan, September 26, 1922. A photo taken during the Civil War. Although the jaunting car was designed for a maximum of four passengers, overloading was apparently common. A comic postcard entitled "The Capabilities of the 'Oirish Jauntin' Car'" depicts a car loaded with the driver, nine adult passengers, three small boys and a pig. But this was no doubt an exaggeration (see www.joyceimages.com p. 19). Source: Reproduction rights owned by National Library of Ireland (call no. HOG92). Click here to view source.
