Postilions description |
---|
A postilion or postillion guides a horse-drawn coach or post chaise mounted on the horse or one of a pair of horses. A coachman is on the vehicle. * Originally the English name for a guide or forerunner for the post (mail) or a messenger, it became transferred to the actual mail carrier or messenger and also to a person who rides a (hired) post horse. The same persons made themselves available as a less expensive alternative to hiring a coachman, particularly for light, fast vehicles. * Postilions draw ceremonial vehicles on occasions of national importance such as state funerals. * On the battlefield or on ceremonial occasions postilions have control a coachman cannot exert. |
