    This rendition of the Rudy Adlaf Bridge in Toronto captures the festive spirit of the holiday season. The sketch depicts the iconic pedestrian bridge adorned with a magnificent Christmas wreath and festive bows, creating a picturesque scene that connects two of Toronto's premier shopping destinations: the Eaton Centre and Hudson's Bay. The Rudy Adlaf Bridge, known for its unique design featuring a glass and steel structure, spans Yonge Street and serves as a vital link between these two retail landmarks. During the Christmas season, the bridge transforms into a festive walkway, offering pedestrians a magical experience as they cross between the bustling shopping centers.

    The bridge connects the famous Eaton Centre and Hudson's Bay. At the Eaton Centre, visitors can enjoy a towering Christmas tree that dominates the central atrium, becoming a focal point for holiday photos and gatherings in the festive season. Don't miss the special holiday shopping events and extended hours for last-minute gift purchases. Also check out the seasonal pop-up shops offering unique and festive merchandise.
    Meanwhile, at Hudson's Bay, the Christmas activities include their famous holiday window displays along Queen Street, showcasing animated scenes that delight passersby. A dedicated Christmas shop filled with ornaments, decorations, and holiday-themed housewares. Santa's Workshop, where children can meet Santa Claus and have their photos taken. Special holiday-themed events and promotions will be available throughout the store.

    Both venues offer a festive atmosphere with holiday music, decorations, and the buzz of excited shoppers. The bridge between them, serves as a festive connector, allowing visitors to easily move between these two holiday shopping destinations while enjoying the decorated cityscape of downtown Toronto.

    Care Instructions

    It's important that you should care for your fine art prints just as you would any delicate and valuable artwork. With proper handling, your prints will remain in pristine condition for many years to come.

    Follow these recommendations:

    Handling
    Natural skin oils or other contaminants can easily transfer to the print. As a preventative measure, we recommend washing your hands before touching the print. Use both hands and support the back of the print when picking it up.
    Never attempt to rub the surface of the image with your finger or fingernail as this could scratch the surface of the print.

    Exposure to Elements
    Keep your print out of direct sunlight. Even the best quality materials are subject to cracking or fading if exposed to prolonged periods of sunlight. Although normal incandescent light bulbs do not present a problem, fluorescent lights do emit harmful ultraviolet rays.
    Hang your print away from areas where airborne grime, dust and pollutants such as cigarette smoke can leave a discolouring residue.
    Avoid extreme fluctuations in moisture and temperature. Excessive fluctuations between dryness and humidity, or extreme heat and cold can negatively affect the state of your print. Museums keep the temperature generally around 18 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of 40%. If the humidity is too high, be on the lookout for mold.

    Framing
    When framing your print use a good quality glass specifically designed for protecting fine art and photographic images. We also recommend using an acid-free archival mat to prevent the print and glass from touching. Like many artworks, an original is sensitive to light. Please ensure that your framer uses UV resistant/museum glass when framing. This glass will protect the artwork against direct or indirect light for years to come.

    Storage
    To prevent accidents, store your print away from anything that might press against the image surface. Some objects may not seem sharp enough to damage the print, but you'd be surprised at what will cause a scratch, a tear, or a rip.
    Do not stack prints on top of each other. Separate them with pieces of acid-free paper to avoid damage.
    Wrap your print well if you plan to transport it. Be sure to put a piece of acid-free paper over the front to protect the print. Rough handling can damage the print so pack it securely.
    Do not cover your print with plastic for long periods of time. If there is humidity in the air, the mold may begin to grow. Cotton, acid-free sheets are the best for keeping dust away.

    Cleaning
    The print should be dusted with a clean, soft rag, to prevent dust buildup. Never use cleaning products or water as this may permanently damage the print.
    Do not blow on your print as you may inadvertently deposit water droplets that can mark your print.
    If using compressed air, apply short bursts while keeping the nozzle at least 12" back from the face of the print.
