Toronto Newsboxes celebrates the colourful newspaper boxes that once transformed Toronto’s sidewalks into open-air newsstands. David Crighton brings together the Toronto Sun, Toronto Star, eye, National Post, Toronto Telegram, NOW, The Globe and Mail, and Real Estate News in one lively composition filled with distinctive colours, lettering, and graphic identities.
Because these publications represent different periods of the city’s history, the artwork becomes more than a familiar streetscape—it forms a visual timeline of Toronto journalism. For newspaper readers, publishing professionals, and anyone who remembers stopping for the latest edition, this piece preserves a wonderfully recognizable part of city life.
