The photographs in this series were taken between 1887 and 1941, and essentially fall into two groupings: (1) About 1000 13 x 18 cm prints, mostly of Toronto scenes, taken between 1887 and 1941; (2) Two dismantled albums containing about 60 7 x 10 cm prints taken in the 1890s of miscellaneous subjects, including Toronto and Muskoka.
