Dedicated to Thomas Dixon, this print shows the British Fall, the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, as seen from Goat Island in the Niagara River. Goat Island sits between the American and Horseshoe falls and was a favored viewpoint for visitors in the 19th century, when touring the cataract had become a fashionable part of travel to the region. The record gives no date, and the shelflist card's name, Bennett, is unverified, so the maker and the exact year remain uncertain. The dedication to a named individual suggests it was produced as a presentation or souvenir view.
