HIGH PHAETON 



CH. VI 



Barouche Landau. — In the early part of this cen- 

 tury, the favourite carriage for the four-in-hand 

 amateur seems to have been a ' Barouche Landau,' * 

 which was a barouche with a high driving-seat, and 

 a rumble for two servants. A carriage of this kind 

 was used by the Prince Regent at Brighton. 



A very high phaeton (Fig. 60) was also used at 

 the same period ; it was sometimes called a ' high 

 flyer.'

The Jaunting Car (Fig. 61), introduced into Ire- 

 land in 1 81 5 by Bianconi, is another four-horse 

 vehicle ; although it is generally used with two 

 horses only.
