Of heavy stock paper,the three dimensional construction is presented on an original frame; each piece carefully cut and hand-painted with light lacquer over-paint to lend an enamel finish. The presentation comprises a coach whose paper details include carriage lamps,minutely-cut suspensions,and undercarriage,and even the half-drawn window shade,being pulled by four white horses with painted decorations and harness,and followed by two additional horses centered by a little spotted white dog; there are four riders,each costumed richly as to suggest that a person of great importance is riding in the coach. The presentation is of fine luxury artistic quality and astonishingly-well preserved in its original wooden box which is lined with an early English journal. Circa 1810.
