Elizabeth Street Playground Animation

Elizabeth St. playground, demonstration day, August 21, 1913, Arthur Goss, Series 372, Subseries 52, Item 72, City of Toronto Archives

The1913 image of the demonstration day at the new Elizabeth Street playground is an epic image that offers a sweeping view of hundreds of adults and children, dressed for the most part in their best, playing or watching various organized activities. Interestingly, even in this image, in the midst of the seeming spontaneity captured by the image, there are three young girls clearly aware of being photographed by Goss standing together and looking back at him (and, by extension, back at us from the past).
