Landau (carriage)

Landaus with the cover folded down (top image) and raised (lower image)

A landau (pronounced LAN-dow) is a four-wheeled carriage with a cover that can be let down.[1] It was a luxury carriage. The low shell of the landau provides maximal visibility of the occupants and their clothing, a feature that makes a landau a popular choice for ceremonial occasions.[2]: 172
