The illustration is of the street view of Wellington St. It is a series of buildings lining the street and intersection. There are cars parked on the road, and people walking along the sidewalks. Behind one of the rows of buildings is the dome of St. George's Cathedral. The numbers "136" is on the bottom left edge and on the back. The number "12" is in red at the bottom left. There is a second signature on the left side of the bottom edge. The image is glued to a larger piece of heavy card stock.
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.
