Coson Carriage Collection at Beechdale, The

Brilliant presentation of a private carriage collection in Pennsylvania called the pride of N. America, from exclusive two-wheelers to coaches, Phaetons, Buggies, Stagecoaches, and a selective collection of sleighs.

Printed on art paper, this beautifully produced book illustrates 96 vehicles from the Coson collection in full color, showing details of decorations and trimming in many instances, with information about each carriage's history and construction.

This book is divided into seven sections, each with an explanatory introduction. Additional illustrations are photographs of Mr. Coson's handsome Hackney horses being driven to different carriages in the attractive grounds at Beechdale, making this a most complete record of one of the finest carriage collections in the world.
