Summary[edit]

"Distributing Ship Cargo of Standard Buggies, Coast of Australia", a ca. 1880 chromolithograph poster (published in the United States) advertising the Columbus Buggy Co. of Columbus, Ohio.

This shows a "standard buggy", recently arrived on the coast of Australia, being driven away by its new owners (the white couple). The buggy is fancifully depicted as being drawn by four giant ostriches (perhaps actually intended to be emus??), with two Aboriginal boys riding postillion.

An inset at lower left attempts to depict the fauna of Australia, while the inset at lower right portrays the Columbus Buggy Co. factory (with the requisite belching smokestacks, then considered a sign of progress).
