Description |
English: Elizabeth Simcoe accompanied her husband to Canada, and her diary and watercolours are an invaluable descriptive record of the first years of the Town of York.
The picture of Toronto harbour in 1793, is a rare view of the site before colonial settlement. Simcoe decided on the site in May 1793 primarily because of its harbour. He returned in July 1793 with his wife and children, and set up residence in a tent. |
