Originally published in 1881, FitzGerald's Carriage Trimmers' Manual and Guide Book offered detailed instructions for creating and installing carriage upholstery, tops, and fittings. Illustrated throughout with b&w drawings, this reprint offers modern curators, carriage enthusiasts, and restoration professionals a wealth of information on this long-forgotten trade. It features a new foreword by former curator and carriage historian Merri Ferrell. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
