Tobogganing, from the Games and Sports series (N165) for Old Judge Cigarettes 1889

This chromolithograph, part of the *Games and Sports* series, was created by Goodwin & Company in 1889 for Old Judge Cigarettes. The card depicts a winter scene of people tobogganing down a snow-covered hill. The central image is a portrait of a man in a red hat and scarf, while smaller scenes show people enjoying the winter sport. The card is a prime example of *trade cards* and *chromolithography*, a popular method of printing during the late 19th century. These cards were often given away with tobacco products and other goods as a way to promote the brand. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this piece in its collection.
