Hancock, R . The waterfall of Niagara. Published by Laurie 1794 



& Whittle, 53 Fleet St., Lond.: 12 May, 1 794. Hancock 



This most surprising cataract of nature is 137 feet high and 

 its breadth about 360 yards. The Island in the middle is about 

 420 yards long and 40 yards broad, at is lower End. The 

 Water, on its approaching the said Island, becomes so rapid as 

 almost to exceed an Arrow in swiftness till it comes to the Fall ; 

 where it reascends into the Air, foaming as white as Milk, and 

 all in motion like a boiling Cauldron: Its noise may be heard 

 15 Leagues off, and in Calm Weather, its Vapours rise a great 

 hight into the air, and may be seen like thick Smoak at 30 miles 

 distance. 



This print is based on Hennepin (1697) and Kalm (1750). Rocks 

 and firs are shown, and the familiar little dog appears as well as groups of 

 savages on both sides of the Falls.
