Niagara Falls, After Father Hennepin's 1677 Sketch, c. 1876 by Rev. Samuel Manning

Niagara Falls, After Father Hennepin's 1677 Sketch, c. 1876 by Rev. Samuel Manning reproduces one of the earliest printed views of Niagara Falls, based on the sketch made by the Recollect missionary Father Louis Hennepin during his 1677 exploration of the falls on the border of New York and Ontario. The engraving was redrawn for Rev. Samuel Manning's illustrated travel volume American Pictures Drawn with Pen and Pencil, published by the Religious Tract Society, capturing the falls as they were imagined through this pioneering seventeenth-century account.

Artist: Rev. Samuel Manning. Date: c. 1876.
