Fairytale coach or court etiquette
Horse-drawn imperial coach, Austria 1745
The imperial coach for the Emperor Francis I of Lorraine served for representational and ceremonial purposes between 1745 and 1765. The coach, weighing over 4 tons, could only be driven at walking pace and consequently was not provided with a coach-box. The model here is in the scale 1:10; the original coach is in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.
