VI: 4505: PERAMBULATOR AND MOTOR CYCLE.

Among the miniature but marvellous articles in the Garage of the Queen's Dolls' House, besides the Motor Cars and their accessories, spare tyres, etc., are a Motor Cycle, shown in the picture with a Sidecar comfortably upholstered, and a Perambulator emblazoned with the Royal monogram, which will be the envy of all babies.
