Essentially a plywood cutout that worked by way of a crank in back, much like the Penny-Plain English Toy Theatres. The wheels rotated and the horses legs moved as it made it's way across a raised platform above the main stage. The Don Christobita puppet appeared in the curtained carriage window, and the Servant puppet was the driver. It was the first use of the puppets in the play and it caused quite a stir in the audience...almost like a magic illusion.
Here is my original technical drawing for the Coach and below the color rendering.
