EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical print captures the essence of winter fun in 19th century America. Titled "Toboggan, from Worlds Dudes series (N31) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, 1888" this image is a testament to the unique style and fashion of that era. The gentleman portrayed here exudes both sophistication and humor as he embraces the popular sport of tobogganing. Dressed in his fashionable winter attire, complete with a woollen hat, scarf, and gloves, this stereotypical dude epitomizes the charm of Victorian-era gentlemen. The satirical nature of this portrait adds an element of wit to the scene. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, it's no wonder why this trade card was highly sought after by collectors. The snowy backdrop further enhances the wintry atmosphere surrounding our tobogganist. As he prepares to embark on his thrilling descent down a snow-covered slope, one can almost feel the excitement in the air. This image not only showcases a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how leisure activities have evolved over generations. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection at The Met, this photograph stands as a testament to Allen & Ginter's legacy as a tobacco company during that era. It offers us glimpses into American culture while simultaneously inviting us to appreciate both artistry and history through its clever portrayal.
