The Royal Sleigh, 1850. Queen Victoria and family travelling during the winter. 'The Sketch of the curricle carriole - in which are her Majesty and two of the Royal children - driven by Prince Albert, upon the principle familiar to the dwellers in London since the introduction of Hansom's cabriolet, proves that a sleigh placed upon low runners may, nevertheless, be so constructed as to be divested of all inconvenience or inelegance...Her Majesty possesses three sleighs, or sledges, which are now at Windsor'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
