A view through dark foreground foliage toward the American Falls at Niagara Falls, with the river and wooded far bank beyond and a pale sunset sky. The caption places the vantage point in Prospect Park, the New York state reservation on the American side laid out in the late 19th century by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Prospect Park's overlooks give this classic framed view of the American Falls and, beyond, the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.
