EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the exhilarating winter sport of tobogganing in St. Moritz, Switzerland during the Victorian period. The image showcases a group of elegantly dressed individuals enjoying a thrilling ride down a lantern-lit slide, surrounded by the snowy Swiss Alps. Tobogganing was a popular pastime among the wealthy elite during this time, providing an exciting and daring way to experience the beauty of the winter landscape. The sleek wooden toboggans and traditional attire worn by the participants add to the charm and nostalgia of this historic scene. The Edwardian era marked a golden age for winter sports in Europe, with St. Moritz emerging as a premier destination for enthusiasts seeking adventure on snow-covered slopes. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing both the elegance and excitement that defined early tobogganing culture. As we gaze upon this image from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, we are transported back to a bygone era where simple pleasures such as speeding down icy hillsides brought joy and camaraderie to those who embraced the thrill of winter sports. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our timeless desire for adventure in all its forms.
