EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1910, depicts a lively scene at Chester Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The image captures the excitement of wintertime as children eagerly line up for a turn on the toboggan slide situated on the frozen lake. The slide, which appears to be made of wood, extends from the shoreline into the icy waters, providing a thrilling ride for those brave enough to take the plunge. The scene is framed by the picturesque backdrop of the park's buildings and trees, with a quaint, wooden structure visible in the background. The image was likely captured using a dry plate glass negative process, as evidenced by the grainy texture and subtle tonal variations. Chester Park, located in Cincinnati, was a popular destination for residents and visitors alike during the early 20th century. The park offered a variety of recreational activities, including picnicking, boating, and ice skating, making it a beloved gathering place for the community. This photograph, though the creator remains unknown, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the simple joys and pleasures of a bygone era. The image is now part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring value of preserving our shared heritage for future generations.
