Summary

[edit]
Description

This surprisingly bucolic scene, as painted in watercolour in 1899 by John Willson, is now Toronto's Portlands. You can see the Big Smoke in the background on the left side, northwest of the boat in the foreground, which was moored near one of the Beaches in the east end. Landfill has drastically changed Toronto's waterfront geography.
