According to the negative sleeve, this set of photographs is captured in color. The scans of these images are in black and white.
Photograph of Niagara Falls, as viewed at a distance from an observation point on the American side of the falls. The observation area extends across the foreground and back towards the distance. Wide, grassy expanses occupy the space between the walkways that lead to the observation area. Right-of-center, dozens of sightseers stand at a rail that lines the perimeter of the observation area. Beyond the rails at center, the Niagara River flows towards the top of the American Falls. Behind the American Falls and in the distance, a portion of Horseshoe Falls (or Canadian Falls) is visible. Four punched holes line the top edge at left.
