EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed members of The International Niagara Falls Commission, taken by an English photographer in the 19th century. With its historical significance, this image offers a glimpse into a momentous era when great minds came together to study and preserve one of nature's wonders. The distinguished figures featured in this photograph include Lord Kelvin, Professor E Mascart, Professor W C Unwin, Dr Coleman Sellers, and Colonel Theodore Turrettini. Each individual played a crucial role in the commission's efforts to understand and protect Niagara Falls. As we delve into the past through this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to May-October 1899 when Cassiers Magazine published this illustration. The gravity of their work is evident as they stand united against the backdrop of roaring waters. Photography itself was still relatively new during this period, making this image all the more remarkable. It serves as a testament to both technological advancements and human curiosity. Preserved within a private collection until now, this rare find allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the scientific importance behind such natural marvels. Let us honor these pioneers who dedicated their lives to unraveling nature's mysteries while cherishing our planet for generations to come.
