EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Tobogganing in the Vale of Health, Hampstead" by Lucien Davis, dates back to January 30th, 1886. The image is taken from "The Graphic. An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper Volume 33. January to June, 1886." The scene depicts a wintry day in Hampstead Heath, London, where people are seen enjoying the seasonal weather by tobogganing down the snow-covered slopes. The print captures the spirit of leisure and fun prevalent during the Victorian era. The image is dominated by a group of men and women, dressed in their finest winter attire, seated on sledges, ready to take a thrilling ride down the hill. The excitement on their faces is palpable as they hold onto the sides of the sledges, bracing themselves for the ride. The print also showcases the transport of the era, with a horse-drawn carriage making its way up the road in the background. The toboggans, or sledges, are being pulled up the hill by a man, who seems to be having as much fun as those riding down. The Vale of Health in Hampstead was known for its scenic beauty and health benefits, making it a popular destination for Londoners seeking a respite from the city. The print beautifully encapsulates the concept of enjoying the outdoors and making the most of the winter season. Lucien Davis' engraving is a testament to the simple pleasures of life during the 19th century and serves as a reminder of the joy and camaraderie that comes with sharing experiences with loved ones, no matter the season or weather.
