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).

Other publications included:

  • The Countryman’s Workshop, Phoenix House, 1953.
  • The Shell Book of Country Crafts, John Baker, 1968.
  • All Made by Hand, John Baker, 1970.
  • Farm Waggons and Carts, David & Charles, 1977.
  • All Drawn by Horses, David & Charles, 1979.
