circa early 20th century pre-1943

Swaine boasts a rich heritage dating back to 1750, primarily rooted in crafting hunting whips. However, until 1825, Swaine exclusively focused on retailing whips due to the significant demand in the pre-railway era.

Swaine's account book chronicles the surge in popularity of the leisurely pursuit of horseback riding and hunting during the late 1810s, evident in the increasing sales of four-horse whips.

This trend mirrors the transition in the 18th century from coaching with postilions to box driving. While coaching was predominantly a male-dominated activity, the rare women capable of commanding a four-horse coach were regarded as daring and formidable.
