The title, *Cascade in the Rocky Mountains*, points to a waterfall tumbling through mountain country, a subject that drew Eastern audiences as railroads opened the West. The print was issued in Cincinnati in 1879 by Gibson & Co., a firm in a city that was a major center of American lithography in the nineteenth century. As a chromolithograph, it was built from several stone impressions, each adding a color, which made such scenes affordable for middle-class parlors. The catalog data on the record is unverified, so the specific site shown is uncertain.
