The photograph shows an exterior, frontal view of St. Peter's Cathedral and All Souls' Chapel, partially obscured by trees. Slight foliage on the trees indicates the photo was taken in the spring.
The photograph is a portrait of E. B. Spurr. An inscription on the back reads "Prepared for matriculation." The book "Act of Faith" notes that E. B. Spurr took his matriculation exam in 1901 at King's College, Windsor, N. S.
The photograph shows a street covered extensively in snow, with buildings in the background. There is one person in the photograph who can only be seen from the waist up because the snow is so deep.
The portrait is an etching of Edward King, the Bishop of Lincoln from 1829-1910. The item is an original; the artist's signature shows "F. W. Vroom, 1899".Dr. F.W. Vroom was Archdeacon of Nova Scotia in 1919 and preached at the Julbilee service.
