As the paving of streets became

more prevalent, carriage designs

took on a light, airy look. Emphasis

on utility took second place to orpa–

mental axles, delicate, graceful

wheels, and even side and back

windows for the passenger to enjoy

the scenery. Obviously, only the

"rich" could afford such luxuries.

This cast-iron replica from the Vic–

torian Era, complete with top-hatted

driver, carries a well-dressed lady to

some important function. (Wheels
