This is a charcoal and ink drawing entitled "The Mall - Princess Street, View From Bagot". The title, and signature are at the bottom right in pencil. The number "37" is in red at the bottom left. The picture depicts many people sitting outside with a street behind them.
In 1973, 30 sketches of various Kingston scenes by Montreal artist R. D. Wilson were presented to the City of Kingston by the Macdonald Tobacco Company as a Tercentenary gift. The sketches, called The Macdonald Lassie Tercentenary Collection, were made the previous year on commission by the Montreal-based Tobacco Company. The artist, who has travelled all of the world, lived in Kingston for a month to execute the pencil and charcoal views of the city.
The sketches were presented by Murray Mather, vice-president of Macdonalds, to Kingston Mayor George Speal.
