What is a "landau"?
A landau is a type of horse-drawn carriage with a convertible top, allowing it to be open or closed depending on the weather. It typically has four wheels and features spacious, enclosed seating for passengers, with seats arranged facing each other. The roof is supported by folding sections at the front and rear, allowing it to be opened or closed as needed. Landau carriages were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, often used for formal occasions or as a luxury mode of transportation. They are known for their elegance, comfort, and the ability to provide both protection and an open-air experience.
