content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Niagara Falls from Prospect Point on the northern side of the American Falls. The nearby cliff edge with some vegetation and right and two trees at left, stretches across the foreground. Beyond, the undulating edge of the American Falls extends from the foreground to the middle distance, where it encounters the heavily wooded Goat Island. Terrapin Tower is visible at center, perched on the bulging edge of Horseshoe Falls, which curve towards the tree-covered Canadian bank that comprises the horizon in the background.
