Portion of the Horseshoe Falls, Niagara - from a photograph by the Stereoscopic Company, 1860. 'The Canadian cataract rolls over a precipice projecting about fifty feet beyond its base, and the falling waters form a curve, between which and the rock itself persons may proceed thirty or forty yards. This is called the Horseshoe Fall. Below the Falls the river flows with considerable rapidity between banks from 200 to 300 feet high. These banks are perpendicular for about half their descent, but towards the base they form a slope composed of the fragments which have fallen from above'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
