Toronto of Old. Collections and recollections illustrative of the early settlement and social life of the capital of Ontario
Henry Scadding's local history of Toronto, gathering documents and reminiscences of the early settlement of Upper Canada's capital, published in Toronto in 1873 for the city's residents and antiquarian readers. The plates are stipple-engraved bust portraits of judges and colonial officers, set as soft-edged ovals on blank pages with engraved facsimile signatures beneath, alongside a publisher's monogram roundel ringed with lamps, crowns and leaves; useful for vignette framing, script captions and interlaced-initial devices.
