content: Landscape sketch showing a view of Horseshoe Falls on the Niagara River, from the lowered perspective on the Canadian bank. Water cascades in tumultuous ribbons over the edge of the concave falls, which curve into the distance at right and curve back at left, and sends up a towering plume of mist. In the foreground, nearby rocks are visible at right, while the white, churning water of the river is shown at left.
