Image Description: A horse-drawn carriage on a square without a harnessed horse. A lovely horse-drawn carriage is the feature in this photo; it is very reminiscent of the Cinderella story! A carriage like this is one of at least 325 different styles of carriages as written about by Arthur Ingram in his book Horse Drawn Vehicles Since 1760 in Colour. A carriage is a wheeled vehicle for people, and is usually pulled by horses, with a driver that sitting up on a box or perch that is elevated and usually small. Carriages like this one are especially designed for elegant travel that provides a level of comfort, although they were also sometimes used for transporting goods. Carriages usually have a suspension system using leaf springs, leather strapping, or elliptical springs to get an extra smooth and comfortable ride.
