| Written by Mike Filey. Published by The Dundurn Group, 2001. Description: |
| Mike Filey’s collection of
pictures of Toronto from the earliest days of photography has gained a
reputation as one of the most interesting visual archives of the city’s
history. This classic look at old Toronto portrays scenes of public life from
1860 to 1950, illustrating how dramatically the urban fabric and environment
have changed. There are photographs of the beaches and the islands, of mud
streets and gas lamps, of steam engines and trolley cars, amusement parks and
the everchanging waterfront. Especially striking are the early photographs of
downtown and the aftermaths of the fire of 1904. A Toronto Album has sold over 50,000 copies in various editions. It will appeal to Torontonians young and old -- and to anyone interested in the evolution of one of the world’s fastest growing cities. Also available: A Toronto Album 2: More Glimpses of the City That Was |
