Niagara: Two Centuries of Changing Attitudes

The Corcoran Gallery of Art organized an exhibit of art featuring Niagara Falls in 1985. The exhibit book is available for browsing on Internet Archive. There are four essays included:

  • Nature’s Grand Scene in Art

  • An American Icon

  • Doing Niagara Falls in the Nineteenth Century

  • The Role of Niagara in America’s Scenic Preservation

Or – just browse the book for the art! I’ve selected 4 sample images…there are a lot more to be found by browsing the whole book (link below).
