Mounted Photographs. Zustand: Near Fine. Three 19th c. photographs of Niagara Falls, together creating a virtual panoramic view which includes both the American Falls and the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Photos are titled in negative "920 - Horse-Shoe Falls From Canadian Side Niagara", (albumen and silver salts print on paper 6 x 9.5 inches wide, mounted onto 6.25 x 9.75 inch wide card) "923 - Horse-Shoe Falls From Goat Island Niag." (albumen and silver salts print on paper 6 x 9.5 inches wide, mounted onto 6.25 x 9.75 inch wide card) and "931 - American Falls. From Goat Island Niag." (gelatin silver chloride print on paper 6-7/8 x 9-1/4 inches wide, mounted onto 7-1/8 x 9-1/2 inch wide card). The silver chloride print has some silver mirroring near edges, a barely discernible three inch vertical wrinkle at bottom center from original mounting, card mount slightly curled, verso w. browning. The two albumen photos both have fading near the edges, card mount slightly curled with some browning. We found a similar view at the McCord Museum "American Falls from Goat Island, Niagara, ON, about 1870 - VIEW-932" but could not locate this view no. 931. The photo of "Horse-Shoe Falls From Canadian Side Niagara" dates about 1870, according to the McCord catalogue, and "923 - Horse-Shoe Falls From Goat Island Niag." being just three views later, would date about the same.
