Book Description

This delightful work was doubtless conceived during the last days of the stagecoach. Although the railway was reaching a zenith of speculation at the time, this work was published in 1845, no inkling of modernity intrudes into the plates. The watercolourist Charles B. Newhouse (1805-1877) ingeniously illustrates the excitement of nineteenth century stagecoach travel through the English countryside, not sparing us with all sorts of accidents and mishaps.
