Inscriptions Typed in ink on slip of paper placed behind photograph: Toronto, Canada. Seems to me this had something to do with "Queen's" something, yet it also seems it to have been one of the arches in the Parliament Building. Mr. Nelson could tell me much more about these pictures if I could ask him. Perhaps this was Queens Arch in the Parliament Building.
Taken by A. Thomas Nelson about 1903 to 1905 when there as a delegate to the International Sunday School Convention.
Mr. Nelson was then doing chalk talk drawing and lecturing with the Ohio State Sunday School Tour Party. See "The Caldron" among the Niagara Falls pictures for further information.
