An original 1840 antique steel engraving titled The Rapids Above the Falls of Niagara, engraved by Robert Brandard (1805–1862) after a drawing by acclaimed British topographical artist William Henry Bartlett (1809–1854).
This dynamic scene captures the powerful waters just above the world-famous Niagara Falls, with dramatic currents rushing past rocky banks and a footbridge with distant figures observing nature’s raw force.
