Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: Ulricksdal, residence of the King of Sweden, 1864. The future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in Scandinavia. View of the King of Sweden's '...favourite Castle of Ulricksdal, which lies about six miles from the capital. The drive from Stockholm lies for a portion of the way through richly-wooded parks, having quite the aspect of English demesnes; then, abandoning the high road, it reaches some gardens kept in the English style, on the edge of which is apparently a beautiful lake, but in reality an arm of the sea. These are immediately under the windows of the castle, and only separated from it by the drive before the grand entrance, in the centre of which is a circular fountain'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
