"This landscape Stevengraph shows a Royal Mail coach being driven by four horses. The basic picture was first issued under the title The London & York ... coach. ... Within a few months, the picture was retitled The good old days ... A later, post-1889, issue under the same title is the same coach and horses with the addition of a winter landscape woven in the background [Godden 30a]. "--Godden. - Subject Terms:
