Merry Sledge Sledges Tobogganing Toboggans Towing Games

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the enchanting scene of a Merry Go Round on Ice from the late 19th century. This photograph, taken in approximately 1890, transports us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and wintertime fun. Children bundle up in their warmest clothing, eager to take a ride on this unique attraction. But this is no ordinary merry-go-round; instead of horses or animals, the roundabout is adorned with large ice disks, each one carefully carved and polished. The icy surface gleams in the winter sun, reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. The excitement doesn't stop there. Instead of climbing onto horses, the children are towed around the merry-go-round on their toboggans. With a hearty tug from an adult, they embark on a thrilling ride, their laughter echoing through the crisp winter air. The sledges, or toboggans, add an extra layer of adventure to the experience, allowing the children to glide along the ice as they circle around. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of wintertime customs and games. Tobogganning, an activity that originated in North America, had already gained popularity in Europe by the late 19th century. The combination of the merry-go-round and toboggans created a unique and delightful winter pastime that brought joy to children and adults alike. As we admire this charming photograph, we can't help but be reminded of the simple joys of winter and the enduring appeal of playful traditions. Let this Merry Go Round on Ice transport you to a bygone era, where the magic of wintertime fun comes alive.
