Nine numbered horse-drawn coaches are lined up together in this plate, each set out for the viewer to compare side by side. Plates of this kind were often produced to show the range of carriage types a builder or livery stable offered, so the spread of forms here is the point. Coaches like these were the workhorses of travel and transport before the automobile took over the roads in the early twentieth century, and their varied bodies, seats and wheels reveal how much effort went into comfort, weight and style. Because the board files the image under automobiles, it also records the moment when the horse-drawn vehicle was being replaced by the motor car.
