Todays's collectors who seek instruction on painting and decorating their horse-drawn vehicles can do no better than this reprint of a book originally published in 1898. The author was one of the best-known carriage painters in the country and was described in the Preface as having "the happy faculty of being able to impart his knowledge to others in such a plain, practical way that they cannot fail to understand him."

You will find here information on the buying, care, and used of brushes; colors; varnishing; striping; scroll painting; lettering; monograms; repainting and revarnishing; painting cutter s and sleighs...and much more.
