Pavilion and fountain, Horticultural Gardens, Toronto, Canada, c.1900
Description
Allan Gardens stereoscopic photographs, c.1880s–1900s. The dual images created a basic 3D effect when viewed with a special device called a stereoscope.
The image is a sepia-toned stereograph depicting a scene from the Horticultural Gardens in Toronto, Canada, around 1900. It shows a large pavilion in the background with intricate architectural details, including multiple levels and expansive windows. In the foreground, several people are gathered leisurely on the well-manicured lawn. A man in a suit stands next to a woman and a bicycle, engaging with another woman who is strolling by a carriage. To the side, two children are seated on the grass, surrounded by a blanket and a few toys. There is a large fountain between the people and the pavilion, adding a picturesque element to the scene. Tall trees frame the composition on either side, providing a lush and structured backdrop.
