Travelling Carriage of Wilhelmine, Princess von Thurn und Taxis
1833 | Baxter & Pearce (London)
This travelling carriage is a landaulet, the hood of which could be opened in fair weather. A particularly innovative feature, which emerged around 1830, is the double suspension with C-springs over elliptic springs. Characteristic of travelling carriages are the servant's seat with collapsible hood over the rear axle, and the numerous luggage compartments, some of them portable. The bar-shaped mountain-check and cast-iron drag-shoe were used to ensure the passenger's safety on steep slopes. (MKR)
