Elizabeth Street Animation

Southwest corner of Elizabeth and Louisa Streets (New Registry Office site), May 15, 1912, Arthur Goss, Fonds 1231, Item 1846, City of Toronto Archives

The 1912 image pictures the corner of Louisa and Elizabeth Streets that would have been situated where Toronto’s “new” City Hall sits today. Children appear almost randomly on the street (and, in fact, in many of his street photographs), raising questions about Goss’ approach. Since he used a cumbersome view camera, exposing one plate at a time, these children would almost certainly have been allowed to remain in the photograph and, in fact, would likely have been told to hold still, given the not particularly fast film speeds available in the early 20th century.
