The Coach-makers' magazine
The Coach-makers' Magazine is a trade periodical for carriage builders, published in New York by C.W. Saladee in 1855 for the American carriage industry. Its engraved plates show vehicle designs in precise line drawings, including buggies, a phaeton and a carriage with labelled figure numbers. A designer could take clean outline proportions, wheel spoke patterns and the bold black hood shapes of these period conveyances.
