Playful winter illustration, 1886

Vintage illustration of winter scene, with children and adults sledding and throwing snowballs and skating

 There's so much winter fun going on in this illustration! Sledding and snowball throwing and skating (and...oops - falling!). It's especially apt for promoting a business in Buffalo, New York, a place known for it's long winters. 

  This is from a page of a catalog of fall & winter fashions for 1886-1887 from Bronner's Fashionable Clothing House. (I love the name!)
