Dish
This blue and white transfer-printed earthenware soup plate features a view of Table Rock at Niagara Falls on the Canadian side of the border separating New York and Canada. Located between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario where the Niagara River flows over a 165-feet high precipice, Niagara Falls was a major nineteenth-century tourist attraction. From Table Rock on the Canadian side visitors could view Horseshoe Fall, one of several falls comprising Niagara Falls. In 1850 a major portion of Table Rock collapsed. Today the site no longer exists.
