IV: 4505: "SAFETY FIRST," THE FIRE ESCAPE

On the same level as the garden of the Queen's Dolls' House there is a garage with Motor Cars, Cycles and a Fire Escape. Attention to detail characterises the entire scheme from first to last and there is no doubt that millions will marvel at the microscopic and artistic finish of the miniature palace and its contents. The Fire Escape is complete with buckets, hose, ladder, etc., and can be speedily rigged up ready for use in an emergency.
