An exquisite carriage pulled by two brown bullocks sits outside a lavished estate in 1900. A purple, satin-like canopy is draped over the roof so that its passengers may keep cool, and its seats are lined with a plush velvet fabric. Standing beside the carriage is the coachman who holds a whip in his left hand as he stares at the camera with a stern, grim expression.The carriages complement the lavished appearance of the estate, and it's clear that its residents deserve to travel in only the finest means of transportation.

From the collection of Fred Bodin of Gloucester, MA. Fred was a long time resident and well-known photographer of Gloucester and had one of the best private collections of New England nautical photographs in private hands. Fred was a photojournalist having graduated with this degree from Syracuse University and worked for Yankee Magazine. Fred passed away in 2016 and HIP purchased his collection from his estate.
