Goat Island, the wooded island that divides the Niagara River's cataract, offers this view of the British Fall, today known as the Horseshoe Falls. The title dedicates the view to a Thomas Dixon, esq., in the manner of engraved views sold to nineteenth-century travelers and admirers of the falls. The record gives no date, and the name Bennett on the shelflist card is unverified, so the maker and the exact year remain uncertain. Goat Island became a popular vantage point for visitors in the 1800s, when the falls drew a steady stream of tourists to the border between the United States and British North America.
