___________________________________________

Thrupp, G.A. THE HISTORY OF COACHES.

London; Kerby &  Endean: 1877.

A pioneering work on the subject, delving back to ancient times, but with
a majority of the text devoted to 16th-19th century vehicles. The book was
based on a series of lectures the author presented for the Society for the
Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce in 1876, and is
illustrated with a fine series of plates, many based on period prints and
paintings. Uncommon in the original edition. Hardcover. 5.75”x8.5”, xii +
152 pages, plus 38 lithographed plates; publisher’s red cloth with
pictorial covers featuring gilt and black strapwork surrounding a gilt
“Coach of the Time of Charles II”. Covers a bit worn and rubbed;
skillfully rebacked with new endpapers; a tiny bit of internal soil.
[09909] $500.00
