"Tobogganing" from the "Pretty Athletes" series is a charming chromolithograph from 1889 by Wm. S. Kimball & Co. This colorful card depicts a stylish woman, clad in a warm winter outfit, standing beside her toboggan. The card's simple composition and vibrant hues create a sense of excitement and anticipation for the winter sport. As a trade card, it likely promoted Kimball & Co.'s products, showcasing the company's attention to detail and artistic talent. The image is a testament to the popularity of tobogganing as a leisure activity in the late 19th century.
