Thank you so much! It's true that these photographs have a resolution and detail that is truly breathtaking. One of the things I enjoy about the shorpy site is that you have the ability to view them full screen (and bigger)...quite an astonishing experience....

If you are interested in the work of Detroit Publishing you must see the site www.shorpy.com, an amazing collection of vintage photography. A search for "Toronto" also produces some very interesting results. Enjoy!
