8vo Landscape. John Ferguson began making horse drawn carriages in Aspatria in 1850. Vehicles ranged from simple carts, cans and the parish hearse to phaetons, broughams and landaus. Customers came from as far as Glasgow and Lancaster. John Ferguson died at the end of 1875 but his widow Margaret continued his business. The firm was eventually bought by the foreman, Andrew Ross and became A.Ross and Sons. Like an overwhelming majority of Victorian carriage makers, they failed to make the transition from horses to automobiles. The book tells what is known about the men who built the carriages, the designs and their customers.. Book Condition: New.
