Description

A sunset view, with a table-shaped rock looming over part of the falls to the right. Several figures on rocks and a path in the foreground dwarfed by the falls.

On acquisition by the Library this lithograph was thought to be the work of William Fox. Instead it is the cover illustration for Table Rock Schottisch, piano music by John Cooke, (New York, Jacques and Brother, 1852). Likely to have been given to or purchased by Fox during his visit to Niagara in 1853

Source of title: First section of title thought to be from an accompanying label or backing board, discarded by the Library
