This type of vehicle is also known as a Slat-side Phaeton and is described by Francis C. Underhill (_Driving for Pleasure_) as a modification of a vehicle used on the other side of the water in a lighter construction. It is intended for private use in the country with a team or a pair and would have been found among the vehicles in the coach barn of a connoisseur of carriages. The body work on the shooting cart is similar to that found on the four-wheel dog cart. This cart was built in 1894 for Dr. Webb by Brewster and Company of New York. _Gift of the Webb family in memory of Dr. and Mrs. W.

Trimmed in green leather._ The story of the origin of the brougham about 1837 was published in 1889 by George N. Hooper--at that time president of the Institute of British Carriage Manufacturers. Lord Chancellor Brougham, lawyer, orator, writer, innovator and originator of many ideas on many subjects, took his plans for a refined and glorified vehicle similar to the street cabs, just then making their appearance in London, to his carriage maker who refused to produce the vehicle because it was light and lacking in dignity in his estimation. A neighboring coachmaker accepted the challenge of this new type of carriage and in gratitude Brougham did his best to influence the world of fashion to purchase this vehicle which revolutionized the old methods of carriage building as regards lightness, handiness, ease of access and economy. This brougham was built for Dr. and Mrs. Webb by Brewster and Company of New York. _Gift of the Webb family in memory of Dr. and Mrs. W. Seward Webb_ [Illustration] (Above) The brougham, formerly owned by Dr. Webb, parked outside Trinity Episcopal Church in Shelburne, Vermont during the marriage ceremony of Miss Frederica Webb and Mr. Ralph Pulitzer in October of 1905. After the wedding, Dr. and Mrs. Webb returned to their home at Shelburne Farms in the brougham and the lower photograph shows the carriage entering the home grounds. [Illustration] [Illustration] LANDAU _Body painted dark green, black trim with straw color striping. Trimmed in dark green morocco leather and blue broadcloth._ The landau originated in the German town of that name and was used from mid-18th century as a posting (traveling) or dress vehicle. About 1850, coachbuilders began to use the lighter elliptic springs on the landau and the whole vehicle became more miniature in size. The landau combined the virtues of both an open and close carriage, as the folding heads could be dropped and the windows lowered.
