A colour photograph of a portion of the skyline of Toronto looking north from Queen's Quay. A sunny day with barely any clouds is depicted. A large grass field takes up much of the foreground and a number of buildings are midway, some far in the distance can be seen. The Royal York Hotel is the highest of the buildings. Union Station, the old Toronto Postal Delivery Building, the old Toronto Star Building on King St. W, and Canada Life Building on University Ave. are visible.
