There are so much to see in this mural! We can see through his work he loves Toronto too. ;-)
Love this - the horse drawn trailers are really interesting. Look like they would be just as at home in todays world.
Oh, this is super. I don't remember horse-drawn milk wagons, but I do remember trucks bringing milk to the door when I was a child. In the winter, my brother and I would try to get up before our mom did, so we could sneak out and get the cream which had frozen on top of the (unpasteurized) milk and popped the little cardboard "lid" off the bottle. Mom was never happy about us taking the cream, but we didn't give up trying. LOL

Another magnificent mural!
I like the way it takes you back to the past. I can't believe it hasn't been tagged though! :)
This one is a beauty depicting times past.
Cool!
Excellent work and an historical monument in paint! My sister was born in 1940, and I can remember riding with my dad when we brought mom and the newborn home in our brand-new 1941 maroon Plymouth!
In the very late 1940s I can remember horse drawn deliveries. Milk came in glass quart bottles. The horses were smart and always knew what house to stop at.
You certainly have a multitude of magnificent murals in Toronto!
Wonderful piece of art, mean to measure time and life.
Please have a good Tuesday.

Fabulous mural!
This one is terrific, RedPat. It reminds me of some I saw in Lyon, France, where trompe l'oeuil is popular.

The wagons were really cool.
I love the horse-drawn wagons.
Very nice historic mural. There's pride showing in the work these men did. The horse drawn carts seem so small, like camping trailers. Wonderful find, Pat. Thank you for this contribution to Monday Mural
Amazing slice of history- those horse drawn vehicles look like a 1960s vision of the furture to me- incredible.
If you do get to Manchester and want a friendly guide and chat over a coffee do let me know Pat!
Sensational Mural. Kuna is very talented. A real conversation piece for pedestrians. Thx for bringing it to us.
Love this one Pat, the horse drawn milk wagons are amazing, i love that everyone has a tale about milk and it's delivery..I can only add by saying we used to have a milkman living next door and he woke me every morning at 5am starting up his milk truck, can't say i miss that haha!
this is a fantastic mural!!
What incredible detail
aren't those tear drop wagons the cutest things?!
even if we still had milk delivery, I bet the men or women would not be dressed up las these men are!
Delightful mural. Love the history it tells, great color, and just pain fun and playful.
Fantastic Capture.
