Peters [cover-title], 1830s-1850s, a large album containing 137 finely executed original designs for carriages, e.g. broughams, cabriolets, chariots, curricles, landaus, phaetons, gigs, etc., of which 76 are pen & ink, watercolour, and gouache (incl. some partially coloured), many heightened with gum arabic, and 61 are pen & ink or pencil, a number of carriages with coats of arms on the side, many with moveable overlay flaps (some detached), many signed, variously Samuel Hobson, A.S. Hobson, John W. Peters, Joseph Peters, Ino. W. Peters, W.W. Peters, F. Wickstead, J. Gilfoy, various dates between 1832 and 1863, some drawings with printed label of John Peters, one drawing with `By Appointment` labels to Her Majesty and the Prince of Wales, occn. dust-soiling and marks, but generally in good condition, most approx. 22 x 34cm (8.5 x 13ins), a few larger and several sl. smaller, all on card and mounted on thick paper album leaves (some leaves loose or working loose), mostly two to a page on rectos only, marbled endpapers, lacking free endpapers, early photo. reproduction of a pen & ink drawing of Samuel Hobson mounted on front pastedown, contemp. calf, gilt tooled leather label on upper cover, sometime rebacked and recornered, rubbed and worn, large folio (65 x 51cm/25.5 x 20ins), together with eight other hand-coloured carriage designs similar, by Hobson, Peters, and others, some browning and foxing, mounted, framed and glazed in two frames each with four-aperture mount, plus a chromo. advertisement on cardboard for Offord & Son Carriage Builders, soiled and torn, with some loss, 54 x 41cm (21.25 x 16.25ins), mounted, framed and glazed. The famous coachbuilder Samuel Hobson began his pioneering labours in about the year 1820, and he is said `to have improved and remodelled every sort of carriage which came under his notice, especially as regards the artistic construction`. In particular he reduced the height of the wheels, lengthened the coach body and hung it lower, substituting a double step to the door instead of a three-step ladder. Hobson worked in the firm of Barker and Co. of Chandos Street, eventually becoming a partner. In about 1815 he started his own business in Long Acre, central London; several of the drawings herein give addresses 99 Long Acre and 121 Long Acre. Many of his methods were copied by principal members of the trade. The coachbuilding firm of John W. Peters (George Street, Portman Square) was also an important business; his mail phaetons were noted as long ago as 1836 for their steadiness on rough roads. The date-span of the album includes the Coronation year of 1838, a year which marks an important epoch in the annals of coach-building, the celebrations for Queen Victoria giving rise to an enormous number of carriage commissions. (Sir Walter Gilbey, Modern Carriages, Vinton & Co., 1905, pp.2-3) (4)
