J.G. Pforr - more peasant horses & car-stake or stake-brace

 Salvete Omnes,

just for the beauty and enjoyment - works of Johann G. Pforr

the wagon images demonstrate  the use of car-stake or stake-brace*



.

the car-stakes[1] seemed to have been an eastern European invention 


[1] lusnia[ luśnia ] in Polish - in Polish Wikipedia,  and  klonica[kłonica]  which holds the ladders in place - - see the description in  Polish Wikipedia
.

and a horse market scene somewhere in Saxony? -
