A beautifully framed engraving of Niagara Falls from the 1840's time period.

For us, it is all about this gorgeous frame made of gilt wood and black glass that serves as a mat for this pretty engraving of an international wonder.

Niagara Falls is an international natural wonder shared by the U.S. and Canada, not a single monument. However, the American side features the oldest state park in the U.S. (established 1885), protecting the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. It is considered a significant national landmark and scenic treasure.

This view is from the Canadian side near Clifton House, an old hotel.
Artist is William Henry Bartlett
Engraver is John Cousen
