The brand image of this first special postage stamp from the series "Vehicles from the Wagenburg" shows a Prunklennschlitten, more precisely, the "Gala race carriage No. 1". This was used by Empress Maria Theresa and her daughters in the Baroque era. The car was made of lime wood and had a shell shape, which was not only richly decorated, but also had real gilding. Dangers became the sled by a cavalier at the end of the car on a cot over the women sitting in the car, the horse reined. The horse was also adorned with an embroidered blanket and created by the clamps, which were tuned in several keys, a kind of accompaniment to driving. A highlight was the official sledge days between Christmas and Ash Wednesday. During this time, the sledges passed the streets of the Inner City several times, the public could admire extensively both carriages and inmates.
