Caption: From Captain Robert Falcon Scott to the Klondike Gold Rush, they have played a vital role in history. Whether it's the iconic husky sledge or the innovative designs of Try My Best, these timeless vehicles have left their mark. In 1898, scales and summit of Chilkoot Pass witnessed daring adventurers seeking fortune during the gold rush (3671445). Meanwhile, brave explorers like Captain Scott relied on sleds to navigate treacherous Arctic terrains (3673016). The War in the Arctic showcased the resilience of sled teams amidst harsh conditions (Colour Litho), while Among the Italians in Russia captured cultural exchanges atop snowy landscapes (colour litho). Even wedding processions faced unexpected challenges as depicted by wolves attacking women in Asian Russia (Colour Litho). Through it all, sleds remained steadfast companions for transportation and survival. As seen in A Sled in the Snow, Russia - a captivating colour engraving - these versatile vehicles continue to evoke a sense of adventure and endurance.
