Isaac Weld, Jr. “View of the lesser Fall of Niagara.”
From Travels through the states of North America...during 1795, 1796 and 1797. London: John Stockdale, 1798. Engraving by J. Scott. 6 1/2 x 9. Folds as issued. Fine condition. Impressions of Niagara: 24.
An attractive and accurate view of the American Falls from an early travel account of an eighteenth century visitor to America. This image of Niagara was drawn by Isaac Weld during his travels through the United States from 1795 to 1797. So impressed was Weld with this famous site that he had an entire chapter on Niagara Falls, which included three views and a map. This excellent view is the first separate view of the American Falls, and it is interesting for its accuracy, especially compared to many of the other images of Niagara in the eighteenth century.
