Notes on this view:

The thin, coated paper that the image is printed on, the white border, and text below all indicate this was likely a souvenir print. Notice the irregular top edge; the print was likely removed from a souvenir book containing various views printed in the same process. Such books were popular in the late 19th century. This view is of The Middle Falls at Letchworth State Park in New York. Despite the poor quality of the paper, the image exhibits little to no fading due to the stability of the pigments used for lithographic ink.
