Lot Description

[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY]. Half plate ambrotype featuring two men posed before Niagara Falls.

Half plate landscape-oriented view of two men posed at a bench in front of Niagara Falls. One sits and holds a top hat on his leg while the other stands, leaving his top hat resting on the bench behind him.

Unlike some popular images taken from the American side of the gorge, most notably at Prospect Point, this image was captured from the Canadian side, providing a remarkable view of American Falls (larger, viewer's left) and Bridal Veil Falls (smaller, viewer's right). The city skyline visible in the distance is likely that of Buffalo, NY.

Estate of David O'Reilly, Old Bridge, New Jersey

This lot is located in Cincinnati.
