The French title, *Sault du Niagara*, names the falls directly, and the stated height of 135 feet is the detail that distinguishes this view from more general scenes of the cataract. Early European accounts, including Louis Hennepin's late-17th-century description, made the Niagara River famous in Europe, and printed views like this one carried that reputation further. Height figures for the falls varied widely before modern surveying, and the cataract has been slowly cutting its way upstream through the limestone escarpment ever since.
