content: Landscape sketch showing a view of base of the American Falls portion of Niagara Falls. At left, water cascades vertically until it hits the water's surface and violently sends up a plume of whipping mist. In the foreground at lower right, a group of rugged boulders are washed over by the falling water. Below them, in the very lower right corner, a fragment of a rainbow is visible.
