A pair of nearly identical photographs for viewing the depicted image in three dimensions with a stereograph viewer. Looking across the water at Niagara Falls. The falls themselves are largely obscured by a plume of spray, and the sky and clouds are reflecting so much light it looks like daytime. A dark, tree-covered bluff is on the left side of each image, with spray meeting the sky in the center, and water on the lower right.
Notes:
One of a number of commercially produced stereocards of travel views in both the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections and the Herbert F. Johnson Museum.
