About this book

Ralph Straus says plainly that he is no coachbuilder, and he wrote for the general reader rather than the trade. His ten chapters follow the vehicle from primitive carts, litters and the sedan chair through the coach in the seventeenth century, Georgian carriages and the rivalry of the wheels to modern carriages. Old prints, contemporary drawings and photographs show an Assyrian chariot, the Roman carpentum, the Darnley chariot, the barouche, the brougham and Edward VII's coronation landau. London, 1912, with an index.
