Album of 29 presentation drawings of various types of carriages

Brewster & Co. American

Not on view

This late-nineteenth-century album contains 29 colored presentation drawings of various carriage models from the firm Brewster & Co. They were bound in an album and send to a carriage manufacturer in Boston, Ferdinand F. French Carriage Company, who offered some of the Brewster & Co. carriages through his showroom. The album thus tells an important story about the nation-wide reach of the New York carriage manufacturing firm Brewster & Co. The drawings closely resemble other small presentation drawings by Brewster & Co. which are part of the Brewster & Co. carriage drawings archive, donated by the last owner of the business William Brewster
