Niagara Falls, USA, c1900s

Niagara falls, USA, c1900s. From our position we do not see the American rapids, but just a short section of the river before it descends to form the beautiful, misty American fall. The land beyond the American fall is Goat Island. Beyond Goat Island we witness the swift rush of the Canadian Rapids and see how the river bends in a right angle where it descends as the famous Horseshoe or Canadian fall. Stereoscopic card. Detail
