London: Published by Vander Lyn, 1804. Aquatint by Lewis after Vander Lyn. 24 1/4 x 33 1/2 in. one of the finest prints of Naigara Falls . In the article by John Davis Hatch, "John Vander Lyn's Prints of Niagara Falls," The Antiques Magazine, December 1990, pages 1252-1261, the author traces only 17 impressions, in total, of the prints (note 20).
