Description
"Looking at Carriages" is the essential companion for all carriage enthusiasts. Profuse colour and black and white photographs illustrate horse-drawn vehicles from all over the world, and the accompanying text provides detailed descriptions of the design, manufacture, history and interior fittings of each vehicle. For easy reference, the vehicles are in five main sections: phaetons, gigs, dog carts, break and coaches. This valuable reference work, now regarded as a classic in its field, has been revised and expanded to include a section on Carriages of the late Twentieth Century. This addition makes "Looking at Carriages" the ultimate guide to carriages dating from the seventeenth century to the present day.
