!!!Janschkywagen

Janschky carriages, term dating from the Viennese haulier Joseph 
Janschky (1759-1839), used to describe luxurious horse-drawn carriages 
which were very popular for country excursions, particularly in the 
Biedermeier era. Janschky´s company had up to 100 horses at a 
time; after his death the company was dissolved and the horses and 
carriages were sold at auction.
