The Shuttleworth Collection, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. 1870 Barouche Town Carriage
The name 'Barouche' is dervived from the Latin biritus, meaning two wheeled, and eventually developed into a four wheeled vehicle. It tollowed the lines of a coach but had a folding hood at the rear.
Passengers nomally faced the direction of travel, with occasional seats in the forepart on which two people could sit vis-a-vis. It was driven by a coachman with the second being occupied by a groom.
The Collection's exhibit
This carriage has fold down steps to enter, the design helping to prevent the steps getting dirty during travel. This carriage was driven by Colonel Frank Shuttleworth in 'four-in' hand' competitions.
It was used at the wedding of Richard Shuttleworth's parents, Dorothy Clotilda Lang and Frank Shuttleworth, and grandparents Joseph Shuttleworth and Sarah Grace Clayton.

The Last Carriage She Used in Geneva
Leib-Landaulett der Kaiserin Elisabeth - Der letzte von ihr benützte Wagen

"While Sisi frequently travelled by coach as a young woman, the mature empress had an extensive railway network at her disposal. But even when she covered great distances by rail, she always took a comfortable court carriage with her so that she would not have to hire a coach at her destination. The landaulet displayed here was one of the vehiclesthe empress liked to take with her when she travelled. It is a small town carriage, comfortable and inconspicuous. The roof could be opened or closed depending on the weather. Sisi used this carriage on her final trip to Geneva, and for that reason it was preserved as a special keepsake after her assassination."
