An ink and watercolour illustration of an adult male newspaper vendor leaning against a newspaper vending machine. There is a stack of newspapers bound with twine on the ground between him and the vending machine. He is wearing a hat with a brim, a fall or winter jacket, and an apron with the words "ASK FOR THE TELEGRAPH" on it. The words "Yonge St. / on the streets" are handwritten at the bottom of the illustration.
