A History of the Horse Drawn Carriage - A Collection of Historical Articles on Varieties of Coach and Their Evolution by Various Authors

A History of the Horse Drawn Carriage is a collection of classic articles on the subject of horse drawn carriages in England, exploring their origins and developments over the centuries with reference to notable events and figures. This fascinating and informative treatise is highly recommended for those with an interest in traditional transportation and its evolution, and it would make for a fine addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: The Primitive Vehicle, The Age of Litters, Introduction of the Coach (1450--1600), Interlude of the Chair, A Conference Between Sir Harry Pierce's Chariot and Mrs. D. Stopford's Chair, Seventeenth-Century Innovations, The Brighton, Bath and Dover Roads, Old Coaching Days, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on horses used for sports and utility.
