Cole made many drawings of Niagara on his first visit there in 1 829, 

 but the exact date when he painted his great picture is not definitely 

 known. In its day the picture was acclaimed a masterpiece, and has a 

 special interest for us today, as a view of the virgin Niagara surrounded by 

 forests. The same view is found in " Our Globe " listed below, and 

 Malte-Brune's " System of universal geography."
