This is my 3rd great grandmother on my mother's side. Isn't this a fabulous coach? I don't know anything about this picture and very little about her. Does anyone know anything about this type of carriage? I wonder if it belonged to her or was used for some special occasion- like a funeral.
She was born in Bridgewater, Windsor, Vermont(1805) and died in Sublette, Illinois.(1872).

Sadly I know very little about coaches - but I am sure that fellow Sepias might have some expertise. But I do know a great Sepia Sat photograph when I see one, and that is one.
With hard tyres like that the carriage would need to be well sprung. Great picture for so long ago.
It is a wonderful coach. It reminds me of what we would call a taxi but I am not of any authority on any of this. I too really like the picture of the coach.
looks like a brougham. which is described here http://www.io.com/~dierdorf/nono.html as a taxi type carriage. thanks for the opportunity to learn more about carriages.
What a photo! A beautiful carriage with a driver high in the front, and your sweet grandmother's face peering through the window. Perfect! Aren't you glad someone had the forethought to take this photograph?!
I know nothing about coaches but that is a wonderful photo...I'd have that one enlarged and framed and displayed! I'm not posting to Sepia this week but enjoying reading all...
i know nothing about the topic but i like the drama of this photograph.

I agree with everyone else ... wonderful photo! What a treasure! I hope you're able to find out more about her.
