| Notes / History | This picture captures a side view of the carousels, the swing boats and the penny stalls. Notice the boy in the foreground – he is pictured in a sailor suit. This garment became fashionable during the early years of Queen Victoria’s reign when the young Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) was pictured in a similar outfit. |
