A pair of nearly identical photographs for viewing the depicted image in three dimensions with a stereograph viewer. Looking over the heads of at least a dozen spectators toward American falls in the distance. The lower half of each image is entirely spectators, men, women, and at last one child, all of whom are facing away from the camera, and dressed with formality in hats and jackets. The women are dressed in light colors. The people appear close to the Niagara River, and the sun is bright on the water, this brightness masks some of the detail in the Falls. The image on the right is noticeably darker than on the left.
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.
