Lined up along a street, the uniformed men beside early automobiles stand out as the focus of this wide panoramic view, which places the vehicles and their drivers in the foreground of a busy scene. The gallery's Niagara Falls listing points to a town shaped by the tourist trade that grew around the falls in the early twentieth century, when motorcars were still a novelty and visitors arrived by road as well as by rail. Panoramic prints of this kind were popular then, letting photographers capture entire streets and crowds in one sweeping frame. Looking closely at the vehicles' boxy bodies and open frames shows how quickly the automobile was changing travel in the region.
