Niagara Falls.

Pennell, Joseph. 

 82:77-82.) 



Six lithographs by Joseph Pennell sketched from nature in the autumn 

 of 1910: I. View from the railway station overlooking the Falls on the 

 Canadian side; II. Building the power house on the Canadian side — the 

 American Falls, below; III. Rainbows over the Canadian Falls, as seen 

 from the Canadian side; IV. The Rapids below the upper steel arch bridge 

 — the American power house on the left ; V. The rapids below the steel 

 arch bridge from the Canadian side; VI. The upper steel arch bridge from 

 the Canadian side looking down stream. In these views the emphasis is 

 laid upon the industrial aspects of the scene.

Day, W . (Lith.) Great Horseshoe Fall. On stone by A. 



Picken, Jr. 



This print shows the Falls from below, as a broad straight line, then 

 an angle with the mist rising. Below there are wild stereotyped waves, 

 and figures are seen on the rocks by the stream on the left. 



These stupendous falls (the largest yet discovered) may be 

 heard at the distance of 40 miles, the cloud of spray continually 

 overhanging them is distinctly seen at the distance of 70 miles 

 with the naked eye. 



There are 1 13,510,000 gallons, or 672,000 tons of water per 

 minute precipitated over these Falls.
