Wilson, Alexander. View of the great pitch taken from below 

 and General view of the Falls of Niagara, eng. by George Cooke. (Port- 

 folio, March, 1 810. 3: No. 3, 182-187.) 



These two engravings are from sketches by Wilson to illustrate his poem 

 of " The Foresters " which appeared in this same issue of the Portfolio. 

 The first, the 'view of the great pitch shows the Horseshoe with the cliff 

 much conventionalized and flattened. The second, the general view of 

 the Falls, is drawn from the Canadian side, and shows the rainbow. The 

 drawing in this is somewhat better although the cliff still appears flattened 

 and the front of Goat Island is apparently a straight wall.
