In this detailed illustration, David Crighton brings together boxes from the Toronto Sun, Financial Post, NOW, The Globe and Mail, Real Estate News, and Toronto Star against the ornate cast-iron fence of Osgoode Hall. Behind them rise the hall’s historic façade and the unmistakable curved towers of Toronto’s New City Hall, creating a layered portrait of the city’s press, legal, and civic worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you remember stopping to pick up the day’s paper, have a connection to Toronto’s legal community, or simply appreciate the city’s changing streetscape, this artwork preserves a colourful piece of 1990s Toronto that has largely disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear Created:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1994\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Queen Street West at University Avenue, Toronto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long before the internet changed how we received our news, newspaper boxes were everywhere in Toronto. I always appreciated their bright colours and the way they brought life to the streetscape. Osgoode Hall was a natural backdrop for the piece. I have also had the privilege of serving on jury duty twice in Toronto—the second time as foreman. Very interesting days indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatured Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColourful 1990s Toronto newspaper boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToronto Sun, Financial Post, NOW, The Globe and Mail, Real Estate News, and Toronto Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOsgoode Hall’s ornate 1867 cast-iron fence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistoric Osgoode Hall architecture and legal setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToronto’s modernist New City Hall towers in the background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA nostalgic glimpse of Toronto’s former newspaper-box culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayered composition connecting the city’s press, legal, and civic identity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"David Crighton Art Studio","offers":[{"title":"14 × 14 in \/ None","offer_id":54025540108399,"sku":null,"price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 in \/ None","offer_id":54025540141167,"sku":null,"price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 24 in \/ None","offer_id":54025540173935,"sku":null,"price":181.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 in \/ Dedication (Custom text added in bottom centre)","offer_id":68215212245103,"sku":null,"price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 in \/ Handwritten Dedication (Custom text in the bottom-left corner)","offer_id":68215212277871,"sku":null,"price":116.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 in \/ Dedication (Custom text added in bottom centre)","offer_id":68215212310639,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 in \/ Handwritten Dedication (Custom text in the bottom-left corner)","offer_id":68215212343407,"sku":null,"price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 24 in \/ Dedication (Custom text added in bottom centre)","offer_id":68215212376175,"sku":null,"price":196.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 24 in \/ Handwritten Dedication (Custom text in the bottom-left corner)","offer_id":68215212408943,"sku":null,"price":203.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/5716\/3887\/files\/David-Crighton-Osgoode-News-1995-Main_fb5befed-a411-4537-b805-dd3b0d1b84c4.jpg?v=1787530309","url":"https:\/\/davidcrighton.com\/products\/osgoode-news-print","provider":"David Crighton Art Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
