Early Toronto Tandem Club Drawing Found by the Colville Family

Inspired by Kevin Plummer’s article on the Toronto Tandem Club in the last issue of Fife and Drum, the Colville family in England looked and found they had this sketch of eight sleighs on Toronto Bay in January 1841. The artist was their ancestor Lieutenant Charles John Colville, later Viscount Colville, who was stationed here ca. 1839-41. In the background is the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse on Toronto Island.
