Landaus with curved body lines were known as Sefton landaus and those with angular lines as in this example were called Shelburne landaus after the Earl of Shelburne who had the first of this pattern built to his order. This carriage was built by the famous Brewster and Company and belonged to the Theodore Havemeyer family. _Gift of Mr. Henry O. Havemeyer, Mahwah, New Jersey._ [Illustration] PANEL-BOOT VICTORIA _Body painted black with black wheels. Trimmed in navy blue broadcloth._ The victoria became the fashionable park carriage when in 1869 the Prince of Wales imported one from Paris for his mother, Queen Victoria, for whom the carriage was named. When she appeared in it for her daytime drives, it soared in popularity. Known at first as the victoria phaeton, it was in truth a faithful copy of the George IV phaeton with a box added for the coachman to drive from. It was always turned out in formal style and is somewhat of a symbol of the reign of Queen Victoria. This carriage was built by Henry Hooker and Company of New Haven, Connecticut, and tradition has it that both Presidents Arthur and Harrison were passengers in it during their visits to New Hampshire. Note the “slip linings” on the boot and the leatherette apron pulled over the interior upholstery. These served as dust protection for the finer vehicles in the coach barn. _Gift of Mrs. Charles E. Tilton, of Tilton, New Hampshire._ [Illustration] SKELETON-BOOT VICTORIA _Body painted dark olive green, green gear. Trimmed in dark green._ The handsome victoria was well suited for the formal call and the promenade on wheels. In 1877, Mrs. E. B. Duffey, in her _Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Etiquette_ book warned her readers that “morning calls should not be made earlier than twelve noon, nor later than 5 P.M. and the lady should be more richly dressed when calling on her friends than for an ordinary walk.” A lady should “never lay aside her bonnet during a formal call even though urged to do so.” The rules were just as rigorous where her carriage was concerned. Her coachman, stately in bearing, should be taller and more portly than the footman, but he too should be of more than average height, thoroughly well trained and preferably slim. This victoria was built by Brewster and Company of New York in 1904. _Gift of the Webb family in memory of Dr. and Mrs. W. Seward Webb_ [Illustration] Photos above and below were taken in the courtyard of the coach barn at Shelburne Farms about 1905 and show the victoria turned out, ready for a formal call.
