"Toboggan Slide, Saratoga" is a lithograph from the "Magic Changing Cards" series issued by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. The artwork depicts a snowy toboggan slide in Saratoga, New York, with a forest in the background. The image was designed to be printed on small cards, which were distributed with packs of cigarettes. The artwork was created as part of a marketing campaign for the Kinney Tobacco Company, and its simple, yet effective, design would have appealed to a wide audience of smokers.
