Photograph, from left to right, of Mr. Stewart of Edinburgh and Mertie West standing behind the railing of a viewing platform and looking at the American Falls. The viewing platform spans the width of the bottom edge and stretches back to the mid-ground on a slight angle to the right. Railings line both the left edge and back edge of the platform. In the near distance, just left-of-center, Mr. Stewart and Mertie West stand at the corner of the platform on the near side of the guardrails. Mr. Stewart stands leftmost and nearest to camera. Both stand with their backs to the camera as they look out over the falls. The Niagara River enters frame in the near distance at right and flows over the American Falls at center, beside the platform. A land form stands on the opposite bank of the Niagara River at right and center. In the distance, Rainbow Bridge extends from the land form at center and out-of-frame at left.
Photograph of Mertie West standing at a rail and looking out towards the American Falls in Niagara Falls. Mertie West stands in partial view in the foreground. She stands, right-of-center, with her back to the camera. The bottoms of her feet and the top of her head extend beyond the top and bottom frames, respectively. Just ahead of her, a guardrail, lined with mesh fencing curves outward as it lines the edge of the viewing area. Bridal Veil Falls is barely visible flowing in the near distance, below the view point, at center. Beyond it, another view point enters frame at right and extends towards center. Farther back, the Niagara River cascades over the American Falls. The Niagara River continues to flow at the bottom of the falls and along the left edge. It passes beneath Rainbow Bridge in the background at left.
Photograph of Mertie West standing at a viewing platform and looking at Whirlpool Rapids. The platform spans the width of the bottom edge and stretches back on an angle towards the left. Chain-link fencing lines the right edge of the viewing area. At center, Mertie West stands on the platform. She is viewed in profile, facing right. Mertie stands on the near side of the fence. Behind her, steps lead down to another platform closer to the river. The Niagara River flows across the mid-ground from right to left. The rapids of Whirlpool Rapids form at center. Cliffs rise from the opposite bank of the Niagara River in the background. Glare is visible in the upper right corner.
Photograph of Mertie West standing behind a rail and looking out towards the American Falls in Niagara Falls. Mertie West stands in the near distance at center with her back to the camera. The viewing area she stands upon stretches along the bottom edge, curving outward at center. Just ahead of her, a guardrail, lined with mesh fencing lines the edge of the viewing area. Bridal Veil Falls is barely visible flowing in the near distance, below the view point and to the left of Mertie. Beyond it, another view point enters frame at right and extends towards center, disappearing behind Mertie. Farther back, the Niagara River cascades over the American Falls. The Niagara River continues to flow at the bottom of the falls and along the left edge. It passes beneath Rainbow Bridge in the background at left. Mist rising from the foot of the falls obscures part of the river.
Photograph, from left to right, of Mertie West and H. H. West standing behind the railing of a viewing platform and overlooking the American Falls. The viewing platform spans the width of the bottom edge and stretches back to the mid-ground on a slight angle to the right. Railings line both the left edge and back edge of the platform. In the near distance at center, Mertie West and H. H. West stand to the right of the corner of the platform and on the near side of the guardrails. Both stand with their backs to the camera as they look out over the falls. A viewing scope stands on the corner of the platform, to the left of Mertie. The Niagara River enters frame in the near distance at right and flows over the American Falls at center, just ahead of the platform. A land form stands on the opposite bank of the Niagara River at right and center. In the distance, Rainbow Bridge extends from the land form at center and out-of-frame at left. From the foot of the falls, the Niagara River is visible flowing along the left edge, passing beneath the bridge.
Photograph of Mertie West standing behind a railing and looking out over Niagara Falls. Mertie West stands in the foreground, right-of-center. She stands, in profile, on the near side of a railing and looks to the left. The metal railing enters frame from left and stretches back on an angle to the right, terminating at a stone that sits along the right edge. Beyond the railing and to the left of Mertie, the Niagara River cascades over Horseshoe Falls (or Canadian Falls) at center and flows to the left, exiting frame. Distant banks of the Niagara River are visible in the far distance.
Photograph of Mertie West standing behind a parapet and looking out towards Horseshoe Falls (or Canadian Falls) at Niagara Falls. The scene is viewed from an elevated perspective. Mertie West stands, left-of-center, on the near side of a parapet and with her back to camera. The parapet stretches across the image, in front of Mertie. In the distance and at a lower elevation, the Niagara River (right) cascades over Horseshoe Falls, left-of-center. Mist from the falls rises up from the basin. On the far side of the falls and beyond the mist, at left, Niagara Falls, New York is visible.
