Anyone have a link to carriages of that period? Written by jeffrey (4/23/2010 10:51 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Thanks for pointing this out, Kathryn Ann!, penned by Line

I am fascinated with EVERYTHING about mobility by horseback and carriage way back then. Might any of you better informed members have a link for us? I have bits and pieces of knowledge but nothing really complete yet. It would be much appreciated. Miss Austen spent an extraordinary amount of time on transportation in all of her novels but I crave still more!
