Sledging in Berlin, 1850. 'The winter recreation of Sledging in the Prussian capital...The view is taken in the Pariser Platz, near Brandenburg Gate...Here we have several fashions of sledge...[although] the painted and gilt sledge is going out of fashion...Everybody sledges...The horses or dogs, as the case may be, are hung with bells; and the street seems to be traversed by an army of muffin-sellers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
