Early snowmobiles didn’t need complicated bodywork to have personality. A hood, windshield, headlight, skis, a few well-placed graphics—and somehow each manufacturer still managed to create something distinctly its own.

Built in Wickham, Québec, the 1971 Skiroule S-300 is a great example of that wonderfully straightforward approach to snowmobile design.

The Story Behind Our 1971 Skiroule S-300 — Front Detail Art Print

Skiroule was part of the remarkable Québec snowmobile industry that flourished as recreational riding exploded in popularity during the late 1960s and early ’70s. From its manufacturing base in Wickham, the company produced a range of machines for a market that suddenly couldn’t seem to get enough of winter.

The S-300 reflects the practical side of that era. Compact and uncomplicated, it was built when snowmobiles were still relatively simple machines—and when individual manufacturers could establish a recognizable look with surprisingly few design elements.

This Front Detail version moves in tighter on the original artwork, drawing more attention to the S-300’s hood, windshield, skis, graphics, and distinctive front-end proportions. Rendered in crisp, photorealistic detail against a simple solid background, the closer crop lets those wonderfully functional design details take centre stage.

It’s a closer look at a little piece of Québec industrial design from one of the most interesting periods in Canadian snowmobile history.

Why You’ll Love It

• Made in Québec: A nod to Skiroule’s Wickham roots and Québec’s important place in early snowmobile manufacturing.
• Front Detail Composition: A tighter crop emphasizes the shapes, graphics, skis, and styling that give the S-300 its character.
• Classic Early-’70s Design: Captures the simple engineering and compact proportions of an early recreational snowmobile.
• Photorealistic Fine Art: Detailed rendering brings out the materials, mechanical elements, and vintage character of the original machine.
• Modern, Minimalist Presentation: A clean solid background transforms a vintage snowmobile into distinctive Canadian industrial art.

Where It Belongs

At the cottage, cabin, chalet, garage, workshop, or anywhere Canadian snowmobile history deserves some wall space. Especially fitting for Skiroule enthusiasts, vintage sled collectors, and anyone who remembers when Québec-built machines like these were a familiar sight on winter trails.

Actual appearance versus Website appearance

Framing Made Easy. Made in Canada.

Great art deserves a great frame. And we believe quality framing shouldn't cost a fortune. At ManMade Art, we make it easy to order your favourite prints professionally framed and ready to hang. Our custom, gallery-style frames are made in Canada using materials sourced entirely from Canadian businesses, combining quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design and affordable pricing.

It's one more way we make original Canadian art accessible without compromising on quality.

Classic Black. Made to Complement Your Art.

Some of our prints come in unique sizes, making it difficult to find the right frame elsewhere. Our custom framing takes the guesswork out of finding the perfect fit. We offer a classic matte black finish that complements virtually any artwork or décor. Crafted in Montréal, Québec, from solid wood, our frames provide a clean, timeless look that puts the focus where it belongs—on your art. And because we frame each piece for you, your order arrives ready to hang, right out of the box.

Clear Protection. Built to Last.

We frame every print behind 2 mm thick acrylic glazing, offering excellent optical clarity while keeping your artwork protected. Acrylic is lighter and more shatter-resistant than traditional glass, making it a practical choice for shipping framed artwork safely. And at 2 mm thick, our glazing offers the reassuring quality and rigidity you'd expect from professional framing.

It's a thoughtful detail that helps your artwork arrive safely and look its best.

 

Made to Order. Ready to Hang.

We professionally frame every piece to order, right here in our Ottawa, Canada studio. From the frame itself to the finishing details, we take care of everything so you can simply unwrap, hang and enjoy.

We secure your artwork using sturdy framing points and finish the back with an acid-free protective sheet that helps keep out dust and insects. Each frame includes a sawtooth hanger for easy installation and silicone bumpers to help protect your walls and keep the artwork sitting neatly in place.

Looking for Just a Frame?

Our frames are custom-designed to complement ManMade Art prints and are available exclusively only as an add-on with an artwork purchase. We don't sell empty frames separately.

This size guide helps you to find out the exact outer measurements of all ManMade Art prints and frames available in our store. All dimensions are displayed in inches, Width x Height.

Prints with a White Border

These have a white margin surrounding the artwork. It is not a separate physical photo mat. The size of the white border is included in the total dimensions of the print. For example, an 11"x14" print with a white border means the entire piece of paper, including the border and artwork, measures 11"x14".

Prints Without a White Border

These are "full-bleed" prints, where the artwork extends all the way to the edges of the specified dimensions. For example, a 11"x14" print without a white border means the artwork covers the entire 11"x14" area without any margin.
