A wide panoramic view takes in the full sweep of Niagara Falls, with a steel arch bridge spanning the gorge below the cataract. Steel arch spans like this were a showpiece of late nineteenth-century engineering, and placing one within sight of the falls shows how quickly the river crossing had become a destination in its own right. Panoramas of the falls were popular with travelers, who often bought them as souvenirs. Look at the bridge against the rock walls and the mist to get a sense of the scale that visitors of the period were trying to capture.
