James Arnold (author & artist)
James Arnold (1909–1999) was an English commercial artist who developed a passion for the waggons that he saw on his cycling tours of the countryside in the pre- and post-War years. He set about producing painstakingly accurate measured drawings and watercolours of all the main regional types that he came across and these he included in a series of books beginning with The Joyous Wheel (Hamish Hamilton, 1940) and including The Farm Waggons of England and Wales (John Baker, 1969).
