Description of a view of the falls of Niagara : now exhibiting at the Panorama, Leicester Square ; painted by the proprietor, Robert Burford, from drawings taken by him in the autumn of 1832
A descriptive guide published in London in 1834 by Robert Burford, the proprietor of the Leicester Square Panorama, to accompany his painted view of Niagara Falls made from his own 1832 sketches for a paying audience of visitors. The pictures are pen-and-ink landscape sketches of rocky cliffs, water, trees and small figures, with a panoramic strip format and the engraved numbered keys visible along the bottom edge; a designer could take the horizontal sweep of the composition and the fine hatched rendering of rock and foliage.
