Under the Falls, Canada Side, 1872. Creator: Frederick William Quartley
Under the Falls, Canada Side, 1872. The Niagara Falls seen from a cave underneath....over the ledge of limestone at this point the accumulated waters of four vast inland seas hurl themselves madly on their way to the ocean...during the last half-mile before the wild descent, there is a decline so great as to produce the most superb rapids. The territory that these lakes drain is equal to that of the entire Continent of Europe, many of the streams that feed Lake Superior being fully two thousand miles away. From " Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. I, edited by William Cullen Bryant. [D. Appleton and Company, New York, 1872]

Under the Falls, Canada Side, 1872 - A Majestic Encounter with Nature's Power
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Frederick William Quartley takes us back to a moment in time when the Niagara Falls was witnessed from an extraordinary perspective. As we peer through the lens of history, we find ourselves standing inside a cave underneath the falls, gazing up at the awe-inspiring sight before us. The image portrays the relentless force of nature as it showcases the accumulated waters of four vast inland seas hurtling themselves over the limestone ledge. The sheer power and beauty of this natural wonder is captured in every detail, evoking a sense of both excitement and serenity. Quartley's composition transports us to a place where time seems suspended; where one can almost feel the mist on their skin and hear the thunderous roar echoing through their ears. It reminds us that even amidst our bustling world, there are places where nature reigns supreme and leaves us humbled by its grandeur. This photograph also serves as a reminder of how interconnected our planet truly is. The territory drained by these lakes equals that of an entire continent, stretching across thousands of miles. It highlights not only the magnitude but also emphasizes our responsibility to protect such precious ecosystems for generations to come. As we admire this remarkable piece from "Picturesque America" let it serve as an invitation to explore and appreciate Earth's wonders firsthand – reminding us that sometimes all it takes is stepping into a hidden cave beneath cascading waterfalls to be reminded of our place within this magnificent world.
