Note: this may be a re-issued state of this print with the name of the publisher changed to Tregear. Comparison to similar Sleigh Prints by Henry Alken (after sketches by Captain Fraser,) published by Robert Havell, London, in 1838, (see Paul Hachey, The New Brunswick Landscape Print 1760-1880, cat. no. 63 and 64,) clearly demonstrates that Alken was responsible for the composition and the etching. See R9266-1339 for the later state of the print with the publisher's name changed to Laird and the plate number removed.
