Pony Wagonette, circa 1900
Add to SetSummary
Vehicles designed to be drawn by ponies were well suited for governesses taking their young charges for a drive in the fresh air. The basket-work body on this pony wagonette formed a sort of hamper from which small children weren't likely to fall. This wagonette is one of several styles built by the Eagle Carriage Company of Cincinnati, Ohio.
