This is a view from Taylor's Wharf looking east towards Gooderham & Worts' windmill. Torontonians are portrayed as making good use of the icy harbour. Some men are cutting ice blocks to be stored in insulating straw to cool food and drink in the warm summer months. Other people are sleighing, skating and walking. The original painting is at Colborne Lodge, Toronto. |
