EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Toronto in 1895. King Street, one of the city's main thoroughfares, is depicted here in all its glory. The image showcases a snapshot of daily life during that era, with trams gliding along the road amidst a backdrop of historic buildings. King Street holds significant historical importance as it was one of the first streets laid out in York (now Toronto) according to the town's original plan dating back to 1793. Over time, this street has witnessed countless changes and developments, shaping the city we know today. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia to this photograph, transporting us back over a century ago. It allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also provides insight into transportation and urban life at that time. This particular print is sourced from "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago" published by George Newnes Ltd in London in 1895. Its inclusion within this collection highlights its significance as a representation of Toronto's rich history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece capturing a moment frozen in time, we are reminded of how much our cities have evolved while still cherishing their past.
