This invaluable book, reprinted from a rare original catalogue, advertises the commercial carts, wagons, vans and drays built by a prosperous wagon and carriage works in Bristol, England at the turn of the 20th century.

Each of these ingeniously designed vehicles is rendered in a finely detailed line drawing, and is accompanied by descriptive copy that points to its many special features. Designers, collectors and enthusiasts of the history of transportation will find these wonderful drawings-there are over 270-a delight to peruse and study.
