At the moment, I’m rushing working to finish up the May issue of The Carriage Journal.

I just scanned the image for the “Backward Glances” department, which features an old engraving or photograph in each issue, and thought I would share a small piece of it here. You’ll have to see the May issue for the full image of members of society sitting on their grandstand (a coach) at the races, eating their lunch.

the lady on the left is eating her lunch, the lady in the center appears to be having a drink poured for her by the gentleman, and the lady on the right is waiting, with an empty glass, for him to pour her drink (from an engraving published in July 1870)
