Toronto Skyline captures the city’s waterfront as it appeared in 1990, before decades of development dramatically reshaped the view. David Crighton’s detailed illustration preserves a period when the SkyDome—now Rogers Centre—remained clearly visible from the Toronto Islands, standing alongside the CN Tower as a defining feature of the skyline.
Whether you remember Toronto’s earlier waterfront, have admired the city from across Lake Ontario, or simply appreciate its evolving architecture, this artwork offers a nostalgic window into a skyline that can no longer be seen in quite the same way.
Year Created: 1990
Location: Toronto skyline viewed from the Toronto Islands.
Artist Notes: The skyline and its architecture are accurately rendered as they appeared in 1990. From this viewpoint, the SkyDome was still clearly visible before the condominium boom transformed the waterfront. The yacht club, however, never existed—I invented it because the composition needed it.
