DescriptionBianconi-car (6 passenger).jpg |
English: Open horse-drawn coach, drawn by Michael Angelo Hayes. Charles Bianconi, quoted in his daughter's biography of him, Charles Bianconi: A Biography 1786-1875, says (p 78): My establishment originated immediately after the peace of 1815, having then had the advantage of a supply of first-class horses intended for the army, which I bought from ten to twenty pounds apiece, one of which drew a car and six persons with ease at the rate of seven miles an hour. The demand for such horses having ceased, the breeding of them naturally diminished, and, after some time, I found it necessary to put two inferior horses to do the work of one. Finding I thus had extra horse power, I increased the size of the car which originally held six passengers, three on each side, to one capable of carrying eight ; and in proportion as the breed of horses improved, I continued to increase the size of the cars for summer work, and to add to the number of horses in winter, for the conveyance of the same number of passengers, until I converted the two-wheeled two-horse cars into four wheeled cars drawn by two, three, or four horses, according to the traffic on the respective roads, and the wants of the public. |
