Clouds stack above the cataract in this view, and a riverside pavilion sits on the bank, giving the scene a sense of how visitors once framed the falls as a leisure destination. Niagara Falls, straddling the border between New York and Ontario, drew tourists throughout the nineteenth century, and pavilions and observation spots like this one catered to those who came to watch the water and the weather. The mix of heavy sky and open riverbank is worth noticing, since it shows how the grounds were laid out for strolling and sightseeing as much as for the spectacle of the falls themselves.
