Légende
Carriage for his Highness Said Pacha, 1850. 'This "invalid carriage" has just been built by Messrs. Hallmarke, Aldebert, and Hallmarke, of Long Acre [in London]. It is intended to be drawn by hand, or by a small pony. The under-part is lightly constructed of iron, with patent noiseless wheels. The panels are caned. The canopy is supported by four silver columns; its roof is painted to correspond with the framework of the carriage: the curtains at the ends and sides are of rich gold-colour, trimmed with silk fringe, surmounted with handsome silk gimp to match. The inside roof, lining, and curtains are of white silk. The backs and cushions are covered witli maroon morocco leather; the carpet is lamb-skin, embossed with his Highness's arms, and the anchor, he being High Admiral of the Fleet. The arms are also emblazoned on the front and back rails'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
