"Step back in time and experience the thrill of tobogganing, a beloved winter tradition that spans generations. From the Victorian era in St. Moritz, where families embraced the icy slopes on grand toboggan slides, to the early 1900s in Montreal where traineaus brought excitement to the city's winter landscape. Discover the joy depicted in classic prints such as "Descending the Steep Snows" and "Toboganning in the Countryside," or witness the energy of young Americans embracing the winter sport in Central Park, New York. Even Swedish winter customs and animal games feature the classic toboggan. And let's not forget the classic image of E.G. Wynyard's "Cricketer" taking a break from the pitch for a spirited toboggan ride down Mount Royal in Montreal."
