"Tobaggan" is a colorful lithograph from the "Novelties" series of trading cards issued by the Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889. The card features a detailed illustration of a toboggan, with a young child peeking out from the front, a common theme in the "Novelties" series, which depicted various items related to childhood. This card exemplifies the popular use of chromolithography in the late 19th century, as the bold colors and intricate detail are characteristic of the process. The card is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
