Kaaterskill Falls, in the Catskill Mountains of New York, is the particular subject here, a cascade that drew painters and tourists alike through the nineteenth century. Its two-tier drop, roughly 260 feet in total, made it one of the most visited natural sights of the Hudson River school era, when artists sought out the wild scenery of the region. The record dates the print to about 1852, though that date is unverified, and it names Emil Seitz on the shelflist card, so the maker and exact origin remain uncertain. Viewers may find it worth noticing how an early print like this captured a landscape that was then becoming a destination for travelers from the city.
