Maison V. Morel was founded in 1845 by Victor Jacques Morel (1814-1879) and became one of the most important Parisian coachbuilders during the second half of the 19th century at a time when France dominated the industry, replacing England as leaders in the field. Antoine-Joseph Grümmer (1834-1909) succeeded Jacques Morel in 1879 and the company became known as Société J. Grümmer, formerly Maison Morel.
This book introduces the reader to many previously unpublished documents and illustrations of exceptional carriages and cars that were the pride of their owners both in France and overseas and describes their importance in the day-to-day life of Parisian high society. Mention is also made of the many high-quality suppliers who contributed to the manufacture of the carriages including Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Boyriven.
Philippe Gaston Grummer, Antoine Joseph Grummer's youngest grandson, along with Laurent Friry, an automotive writer based in France, are the coauthors of Gaston Grummer: The Art of Carrosserie, also published by Dalton Watson. Jean-Louis Libourel is a specialist in the history of horse-drawn vehicles.
