A Handy Reference,
By Melisande (Chandler, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Carriages, Sleighs, Sulkies, and Carts: 168 Illustrations from Victorian Sources (Paperback)
This book is a nice reference for anyone with an interest in common types of American Victorian Coaches.I found it very informative with a clear line drawing of each coach included description of the item, some history, information on the maker, and some historical data to indicate what the use was. The clear black and white drawings are supplemented by plans and by photographs where available, which helps to give a feel of the scale of the vehicles. I was very pleased to find that not only was information on colors included but they were careful to indicate how many horses pulled the vehicle, and show pictures of the shafts as well as the vehicle. Generally if you're looking for a simple pictoral reference to show you what these vehicles looked like, and/or gain some feeling of the color and history, you'll be very pleased.

This review is from: American Carriages, Sleighs, Sulkies, and Carts: 168 Illustrations from Victorian Sources (Paperback)
Today no family establishes itself without getting a van. But over a hundred years ago, the family had carriage or waggonet.A well illustrated little book. Most informative on the pre-motor technology of horse drawn transport. I found it a joy to go through. A must for anyone interested in this period.
