1 vol in-8° (250 x 170 mm) de : frontispice ; 159 pp. (dont tables) ; 19 illustrations à pleine page hors-texte (17 photographies et 2 gravures) ; nombreuses vignettes gravées dans le texte. Envoi autographe signé : "To Mr William Bartlett". Ex-libris armorié de Thierry d’Erceville. Pleine toile beige, premier plat titré et illustré en noir et rouge, dos lisse titré. Edition originale de ces leçons de conduite de diligence dues à Edwin Howlett (1835-1914), maître dans l’art d’atteler et enseignant en la matière. Initié dès ses 16 ans par son père, lui-même cocher, Edwin Howlett emmagasine une grande expérience qui lui vaut d’être reconnu et plus tard, d’enseigner sa discipline. L’art d’atteler a connu de nombreux maîtres parmi lesquels on peut citer : Garsault (France), Beno von Achenbach (Allemagne), Beaufort (Grande Bretagne), F. Rogers (Etats unis) ou encore C. Volpini (Italie). Toutefois, Edwin Howlett est assurément l’un des plus reconnus en la matière tant ses principes du menage "à l'anglaise" qu’il livre dans le présent ouvrage sont encore de nos jours largement répandus. Dans une première partie, l’auteur fait une présentation complète des éléments à disposition du cocher : le fouet, les reines, les lampes, le frein etc. Dans une seconde partie, il livre une leçon pour chaque manœuvre qu’un bon cocher doit maîtriser : comment démarrer, s’arrêter, tourner à gauche ou à droite, faire demi-tour, passer un pont ou une passerelle, faire le tour d’une fontaine etc. L’ouvrage est dédié à W. G. Tiffany, un des plus vieux clients et amis de l’auteur, ainsi qu’à ses élèves sans qui il n'aurait pas entrepris de rédiger un tel ouvrage, par manque de compétences en tant qu’auteur. Bel exemplaire de ces leçons de conduite de diligence données par un maître de l’attelage de renom. 1 vol. 8vo (250 x 170 mm) with: frontispiece; 159 pp. including tables; 19 full-page out-of-text illustrations (17 photographs and 2 engravings); numerous engraved vignettes in the text. Autograph signed letter: "To Mr William Bartlett". Armorial bookplate of Thierry d'Erceville. Full beige cloth, first board titled and illustrated in black and red, smooth titled spine. First edition of these lessons in stagecoach driving by Edwin Howlett (1835-1914), master harness driver and teacher. Initiated from the age of 16 by his father, himself a coachman, Edwin Howlett accumulated a wealth of experience that earned him recognition and, later, the right to teach his discipline. The art of harnessing has known many masters, including: Garsault (France), Beno von Achenbach (Germany), Beaufort (Great Britain), F. Rogers (United States) and C. Volpini (Italy). However, Edwin Howlett is undoubtedly one of the most renowned in the field, as his principles of "English-style" driving, which he describes in this book, are still widely applied today. In the first part, the author gives a complete presentation of the elements available to the coachman: the whip, the reins, the lamps, the brake and so on. In the second part, he provides a lesson for each maneuver that a good coachman must master: how to start, to turn right angle to right or to the left, drive through a gateway to the left, to back, to turn around a fountain etc. The book is dedicated to W. G. Tiffany, one of the author's oldest clients and friends, and to his students, without whom he would not have undertaken to write such a work, for lack of skill as an author. A fine copy of these lessons in stagecoach driving from a renowned master of this field.…
