" Saut de Niagara." 



1750 



KALM, Peter. A letter from Mr. Kalm, a gentleman of Sweden, 1750 

 now on his travels in America, to his friend in Philadelphia, containing a Kalm 

 particular account of the Great Fall of Niagara, September 2, 1750. 

 (Gentleman's mag., Jan., 1751. 21:15—19.) 



The view of Niagara Falls, which was designed to accompany Mr. 

 Kalm's letter, was not published in the Gentleman's Magazine until the next 

 month after his article appeared, namely in February, 1 75 1 . Although 

 Kalm himself may have had nothing to do with the actual making of 

 the picture, it is quite evident that the engraver founded his work on the 

 author's description. It is the first picture after Hennepin's to be founded 

 on an actual sight of the Falls. 



(Kalm, PETER.) A view of the famous cataract of Niagara in 

 North America. (Grosvenor library, Buffalo, N. Y. Views of Niagara 

 Falls. 1697-1 87-. Mat 2.) 



Taken from the Gentleman's Magazine of February, 1 75 1 . 



1751 



De berugte Waterval van Niagara in New York. (Grosvenor library, 1751 

 Buffalo, N. Y. Views of Niagara Falls, 1697-187 Mat. 2.) 



No information is obtainable as to where this view was published or 

 when, but it is quite apparent that it is founded on the plate illustrating 

 Kalm's letter published in 1 75 1 .
