Rapids rush toward the brink in the foreground of this panoramic view, a detail that sets it apart from the more familiar head-on pictures of the falls. The wide format lets the eye follow the churning water from the upper river down toward the drop, showing how the current gathers speed before it reaches the edge. Niagara Falls has drawn sightseers, painters and photographers since the nineteenth century, and views like this one helped build the falls' reputation as a national wonder. Worth noticing is how the long frame captures the scale of the river itself, not just the cataract.
