This group of unbound prints arrived at the Museum contained in portfolio covers where they had been placed by a previous owner. The boards are drilled with holes and covered with ornamental paper, and the front cover decorated with a lithograph (ca. 1843) that shows Prince Albert driving Queen Victoria and three of their children in an open carriage. Many of the prints are political caricatures from the 1830s.
