Outlines the
development of horse-drawn vehicles from their inception to the
present day. It is an evocation of state and civic dignity, recalling
the efforts of magnificent Shire horses and humble but hard-working
cobs or 'vanners'. Mechanical transport has replaced stage-coach,
hansom cab and family brougham. This book will assist the identification
of different vehicles and describes their purpose, history, working
parts and the materials used.
