DescriptionView looking up at six people sledding down a track. There are three lanes, seperated by what appears to be rows of ice. The outer side has a rail made of wood. There are two people on each sled, and the front ends of the sleds curl upwards. The people all wear jackets and hats. There are several arches over the sledding track, spaced periodically. Each arch is decorated with light bulbs, two small flags, and the Union Jack on a shield. The people in the image are members of the Horace Bushnell Cheney and Austin Cheney families. There are in Montreal, Canada.
