I just got a call from Jeff Cahill. He has been working with a local history alive project. He is looking for the reprints of MT RIchardson's Complete Carriage and Wagon Painting, vintage 1891, reprinted in Peterborough, NH prox. 1980

Anyone know of a source for copies.

Kent,

did you try a google search?

A cursory search resulted in two originals for $ 100 - 200, reprints from $ 25 +-.

That is the address of the reprint publisher , but they no longer appear to be in business.

Check some of the Carriage Museum websites, they sell reprints of this title.

Or, buy an original, and make your own reprints to sell.

Thanks for the data Robare. Jeff has both an original and reprint, just thought a source to send people to for reprints would be good for the project.

I can't remember if this was mentioned in the past, but you can download the Complete Carriage and Wagon Painting Book in PDF format, from the following website: http://www.archive.org

Just type "carriage painting" into the search box and you will be shown a list of carriage painting books that you can download all for FREEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Try some other sign painting search terms and see whats available.

It helps to have a high speed connection, a lazer printer, and some room on your hard-drive.

Oh, and dont forget the paper too!

Kent,
Jeff called me while I was out on a trip. I suggested he REGISTER here and ask the question, vs one of us asking for him. He would be a good resource for the rest of us. Maybe you can convince him to register and get involved.

I have tried and maybe better in person later. He refuses to be computer savy and does not want to learn the "new tricks" to post etc. so we will see.
